Bag 19

Subject

beaded bag

Description

Although horses and flowers are common motifs on beaded bags, this intricate design depicting a Palamino and an Appaloosa trotting beneath a canopy of rose blossoms is exceptionally fine. The bag features several different types of beads and beading techniques and, as is typical for bags of this type, is decorated on one side only.
