one piece of animal skin; glass beads; fine vegetable fibre or thread; coil metal wire; wire metal chain

Pouch is made of one piece of folded animal skin cut to have a pointed flap. The sides are secured with coiled metal wire, one side decorated with a string of white glass beads. The flap is decorated with glass beads and edged with coiled metal wire that is attached to a metal wire chain at the point of the flap.

Three semi-circular shapes or domes on a white ground repeated three times on the flap; the lines of the domes look like chain linkages.

Coiled wire and chain may have been repurposed from another object
