NOTES
Wide stripes of vibrant green alternate with bands featuring multicolored abstract designs to create a lively sense of movement. Metal cones give way to tufts of bright red hair along each side, as if extending the red cross design beyond the surface of this bag. Women across the Northern Plains created bags such as this to store and move any possible range of items, including clothing.
