Gorgeous Antique Native American Beaded Hide Purse with Sinew Stitching, Presumed Plateau 1846 I believe dominoes rivals cribbage(First photo composite showing both sides.) Stunning, with these best blue glass beads, which are tiny tiny, against which the beaded patterns just vibrate, especially that red. Made of hide, which is visible on the interior, as are sinew stitches attaching the handle. C. 1900 I believe, with related examples out there using commercially produced clasping handles like this, which would have been traded for. (A photo of a late 19th century Sioux purse
