Double-Sided Chief’s Head Bag

Very fine double-sided beaded Plateau bag from the 1950s or thereabouts. The beading on the chief’s head side is exceptional because it is three-dimensional. On the reverse is a butterfly and flower motif. The bag has a zippered closing and the interior is lined with a mottled green, blue and white cotton material. Diameter is 8”. The strap is beaded as well in an alternating tri-color of red, blue, and orange. Excellent condition with no missing beads. From noted artist, Glen LaFontaine’s extensive collection. He reported to me that he once owned over 600 Plateau bags
