Description

"This white buckskin half-oval shaped purse is made with an overflap and underflap. Two slots on the underflap allow the purse to be inserted into a belt where it is worn. Buckskin ties trimmed with a red and orange horse tail tassel allow the purse to be securely sealed so the contents won't fall out. On the overflap is a solidly beaded design in white, blue, orange and green. This purse, measuring 5 by 4 1/2 inches when closed, was made by the Sioux Indians."
