Description
"This 3 1/8 by 3 3/4 inch octagonal shaped purse is solidly beaded with a geometric design in orange, blues, green, brown and yellow worked into a white beaded background. It has a zipper closure. This is an example of Sioux beadwork and design, and was given to me by the students of the North Dormitory at Fort Thompson Indian School."Related People and Organizations
