Apache Beaded Pouch – Fort Sill, OK

Over the past year, I’ve been acquiring Apache beaded bags because I love the form. This type is commonly referred to as a Fort Sill (Oklahoma) bag as they were made in that location from about 1900-1930. This pouch is 6 1/2″ tall by 4 1/2″ wide. The fringe on this bag is rather unusual in that it is short and segmented rather than the much more common long and flowing. See the many other example of Apache beaded bags on this page.
