Beautiful early 20th century Plateau Indian Beaded Purse with most likely silver plated brass hardware. The purse is beaded the same on both sides with floral designs typical of Plateau or Flathead pieces we have seen.
The purse is 8 inches wide at the top and 8 inches long not including the beaded fringe at the bottom and only a few loops missing which is very good for over 100 years.
The purse has a silk interior with brass loops holding the purse together.
We have shown another a similar piece above from the flathead Indian tribe from the Smithsonian Museum.
A beautiful and rare piece of Native American art.
