Label TextWomen lavished much attention on these fully beaded bandolier bags. The women proudly made them as an expression of love for their husbands who wore them on special occasions. Photographs from the turn of the 20th century show that bandolier bags with large realistic floral designs were most popular among the Native people of Wisconsin and Minnesota. The realistic appearance of the floral elements was increased by the indication of ribs and veins in the leaves.ProvenanceArgosy Art & Artifacts, Albuquerque, New Mexico
