Crow 1850’s Native American Incised Sacred Object Parfleche Pouch
 This amazing Native American parfleche pouch replication is authentically made from young Montana buffalo epidermal brown rawhide, incised (lightly engraved) with a traditional Crow design. Incised Crow cases such as this are very rare, as they were made only by the Crow people prior to 1850. The unique design on the frontal piece has its own special significance: the teepee triangles represent encampments, and the dots signify trails taken to the camps.
This large parfleche pouch is accented with a naturally sun faded, hand dyed stroud wool edging, stroud wool being a common 19th century trade item with Native American Plains tribes.
The large bead on the tie is a Venetian glass ca 1870 “eye” bead, commonly used by Crow people on rock medicine bundles as a gift or offering to the power of the bundle.
Pouch Size: 9” x 9”
