blackened deerskin, porcupine quill (red, natural white, black/ purple), strap made of hand tanned leather that is thicker than deerskin could be moose. Strap has a metal buckle.

a single piece of leather that has been stitched on the sides and folded above to make a flap with scallops. Strap sewn on the back of the bag with some type of cord that does not look like nettle fiber. Cory stated that strap is sewn on with hemp cord that was available during fur trade. Simple banding and two colour plaiting. Simple linear twist wrapped around sinew. Single quilled edging and double quilled edging.

There are zig zags and half otter tail. The scallops have a half hourglass motif along the edge. The canes, are reminscent of plains coup sticks. Two equal arm crosses on the two middle scallops. On the right scallop has a straight vertical line. On the outer left scallop is too damaged (strap .

A tag on the bag states that it was a gift "An Indian pouch gift od Mr. Williams of [Hatfield]". David has never seen a bag of this type with this type of strap and leads him to believe that it was added later.This bag is an early 1775-1800, both Cory and David agree. The bag is worn over the shoulder as opposed to around the neck.

1770 - 1800 (DP?)

No restrictions despite bag looking damaged.
