Featured Beaded items

Hi again. Found these items as a lot for $10. I don't know if any of them are NA. The most elaborate one is unfortunately only a partial. Any ideas of what it might have been? Is the bottle anything interesting?

Thank you for all help, as always.

 

The beaded leather piece in the upper left is probably Athapaskan/Cree, (interior NW Canada) on smoked moose hide. The one on the right looks to be Native American from the Plateau region (the northern area between the Rockies and the coastal mountains). This would typically be part of a bag, but I can't tell if yours is actually a bag or just one side.

I am not sure about the other 2 pieces. The bottle might be Native American, but without a real design it is harder to tell. The irregular beads indicate some age.

 

Yes, it is just one piece of thick fabric, a heavy kind of canvas, maybe, so perhaps cotton, and the beading is affixed directly to it.

 

Probably originally a bag, then, but it has been disassembled for some reason.

 

The Plateau , like their roses !!!!

 

save the beadwork from a bag that got torn up..........!!

 

The beadwork on those bags is pretty amazing.

 

I recently run into a portrait made of beadwork. It was bit expensive but now I regret for not buying it. I can imagine time needed to populate one square inch. Also, vintage beaded little purses are most beautiful. Whoever did yours deserves respect.

 

You can frame the roses to preserve it.

 

not a bad idea......

 

Is the blue and red beaded piece a kippah? Just found some similars online.

 

maybe....I thought it was a place mat !!
