Native American Lakota Hide Trade Bead Pouch Medicine Bag Authentic
It has been on display in our showcase at home and never used. It is adorned by trade beads, decorative beads, small cones and traditional hide which is very soft. This is a very traditional bag. I was told that many years ago the Lakota people use to use bags/pouches like this and on them were all kids of beads for trading. When they would trade for something, they would pull beads off the pouch and put the item into it.
This can be used as either a Purse, a Medicine bag, a Medicine pouch or hung on the wall as Native American art. It is 15 long, not including the tie handle.
In traditional Native American culture, one of the most revered objects is the medicine bag (or bundle). Items are placed inside the small bag that holds a spiritual significance to the wearer... Such as special stones, various herbs, or any object of importance and meaning.Some of these can be found in nature and the everyday experiences. These bags and their contents are thought to possess a strong tie to the owner and nature. Worn by most Indians for personal uses, these bags are a normal part of the Native American culture. This is one of the amazing pieces. I've included many pictures to show all the details of this amazing item.
