Native American??? Cinch Coin Purse?

Any help would be appreciated

not sure exactly what I have here, it’s a small woven cinch pouch with designs in the weave.

I’m leaning towards Native American, but not positive. And if NA, I have no idea about tribal affiliation.

When it comes to NA jewelry, I have a solid foundation of knowledge….. but textiles, not so much

any thoughts on this piece?

 

Your little bag is crocheted, which is not a traditional Native American technique.

 

Thank you. Any ideas on its origin?

 

search term: reticule

I, too, don't see NA at all... but can't make out what I do see, either!

 

It might be the initials G L. I believe such items could have been made anywhere from the late 19th to mid 20th century, by any skilled craftswoman.

 

could it be an early Louis Vitton ?

 

My guess is that it was something featured in a Ladies Mag of the day - like "Needlecraft". They often had little "spotlight" pages that would include instructions for small projects - like this. Perhaps an Asian theme, or Native, or a page for an upcoming Holiday.

Cheerio!

Found a similarly constructed example, and I’d really like to know in the world this seller includes a date claim of 1850-1860’s?

rather vibrant colors imo. Was the color fuchsia even invented then? I’m pretty sure that was a color invented in the 1980’s specifically for leggings. lol

That seems like a good guess!
