Crow 1880 Native American Buffalo Rawhide Parfleche Pouch
Made with thick buffalo rawhide and decorated with authentic clay and trade paints, this Crow 1890 Parfleche Pouch replication is bordered with pieces of old faded wool trim and accented by a cobalt blue ca 1860 Chinese glass bead on the strap and two ca 1860 faceted blue beads on the dangles. The strap and tie are braintan deer hide.
Among the Montana Crow people, small cases with wool trim were used to carry personal sacred items, which sometimes included rock medicine, an oddly shaped decorated rock or pebble. The painted design on this pouch represents a teepee or camp, and the green color paint is symbolic of the summer season.
In Native American tradition, a person may possess a number of sacred containers such as this, each one with a different design and color palette depending on how they one feels directed by spirit. Inside this bag is a buffalo hair wrap to be used for storing your own personal items if you so choose.
The design of his particular Native American Parfleche Pouch replicates that of an original Crow pouch collected in 1923 by William Wildschut in 1923 from the Crow in Billings, Montana.
Size: pouch 5” x 6”
