Gorgeous Antique Native American Beaded Hide Purse with Sinew Stitching, Presumed Plateau 1846 Quite a lot of care

Quite a lot of care and attention to detail invested in the making of this old tabletop piano

attests--and which seems to contain a glass goblet inside of it with dramatic silhouette

I imagine he slate on which this pink house and winter landscape was painted was salvaged from an antique school slate the frame of which fell apart

Gorgeous Antique Native American Beaded Hide Purse with Sinew Stitching, Presumed Plateau 1846 Quite a lot of care(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
