Beadwork has been around for hundreds of years, but work as detailed and extensive as the bandolier bag did not appear until the second half of the 19^th century. This bag is smaller that most, and was designed on a loom. This style is easier to do, but is restrictive on the creativity, because it forms by rows and columns. This bag has a wide variety of color, but is dull. This may be due to the time the bag was made, around 1880-1895 or less access to materials. This bag has English and Christian influence. It also displays a common early “Ottertail” design on the borders.
