Painted Rawhide Envelope Bag with Smoked Fringe
Hand-scraped rawhide (beef); painted with earth pigments and outlined in India ink. The laces and fringe are smoked, brain-tanned deer hide.
The envelope bag is a smaller version of a man’s medicine bag. The owner would put good luck charms such as tobacco, sage, medicinal plants, feathers, animal parts or items he felt brought him good luck or protection.
DISCLAIMER - The smoked fringe smells like campfire smoke.
