[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 9806105, member: 301"]I can't even speculate as to the blue...but I'm pretty sure the red is dyed porcupine quill. There's no flap..or twist closure so really I can't say what this was used for , or just how old it may be. The design...is not one I recognize and it doesn't seem to be any particular tribal geometric. The Athapaskins beaded....used hide and fur and some shells.......
