Common red stroud. Silk ribbon (2 inch wide). 2 sizes of seed beads (size 11 in white and clear dark green; size 13 in opaque white, black, and a series of greasy colors including teal, mustad yellow, lemon yellow; clear: dark green, red).

Finger tabs are woven of the same loom-beaded panel. Tassels made of yarn separate and attached to tabs, not from the warps. Black ribbon work edging the central flap around red stroud. Multi-colored printed cotton lining inside pouch (possibly "chintz" as per fur trade inventories, [CW]). A seam runs down the back of the common stroud indicating recycled material; seam is tailored and possibly material was originally part of a chief''s coat.

Example of transition bag bc of stroud backing with b/w; could be concurrent to the finger-woven oblique interlace panel bags.

1880s (PMA); 1840s, not later than 1850s (DP; CW)

Cory Willmott, Alan Corbiere, Adrianna Grecci Green and David Penney conducted research on site at the Peabody Museum for Archaeology and Ethnology in July 2007 with help from Susan Haskell and Patricia Capone of the PMAE. Cory Willmott's research was funded by a grant from the American Philosophical Society. Al Corbiere was supported through Ruth Phillips's SSHRC Canada Research Chair Funding. An internal grant from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville provided Cory with an RA, Ceara Horsley, for 2009 and 2010 to work on GRASAC data entry. (CW & CH)
