This beautiful bag was made by Jess Anders in the style that is now called parfleche, a French word meaning “deflect an arrow,” in that such bags were tough enough to withstand the rigors of travel, including arrows. The Native people of the Plains and Plateau made everything from tipi storage bags of various sizes and uses to all kinds of bags used for travel, and the bags were often painted with designs particular to a certain family. Jess painted this rawhide bag with earth paints on both the front and the back of the bag, and the fringe is approx. 30” long. The bag measures approximately 17-1/2” by 7-1/2” and has a braided rawhide strap that is approximately 32” long. This bag would make a beautiful display piece on the wall in your home. Price is $475 including shipping in the U.S. PLEASE DOUBLE CLICK ON THE PHOTOS SO YOU CAN SEE THE WHOLE IMAGE!!
