About the Item

This exceptional 19th-century Crow (Plains Indian) beaded tepee bag, dating circa 1860-1875, is a rare and authentic example of Native American craftsmanship and cultural heritage. Expertly constructed from native tanned buffalo hide—renowned for its strength, flexibility, and remarkable suppleness over time—this bag showcases the enduring quality of traditional materials. The front panel features intricate glass trade beadwork sewn with sinew, a durable natural fiber traditionally used by the Crow people. The beadwork presents the classic Crow bar design, a highly respected Plains Indian motif symbolizing the tribe’s artistic legacy. Vibrant beads in light blue, dark blue, dark green, whiteheart red, and greasy yellow are meticulously arranged to create a visually striking and culturally meaningful pattern. Designed for both function and artistry, this tepee bag reflects the Crow Nation’s nomadic lifestyle, originally used to securely store small personal items during travel. Professionally fitted with a custom wall mount, the bag is ready to be displayed as a captivating piece of Plains Indian art and 19th-century Native American history. This extraordinary Crow beaded tepee bag is an essential addition for collectors, historians, and anyone passionate about authentic Native American artifacts and the rich traditions of the Plains tribes.
