Description:

 

A beautiful vintage handcrafted Cree set consisting of three hide bags accompanied by a matching cloth. While beadwork is widely recognized in Cree decorative arts, embroidered pieces, especially those without any beadwork, are less commonly encountered today. This rarity can make such items particularly special and valuable to collectors and historians, as they represent a specific period and style within Cree artistic traditions.

Petite bags are unused and have been maintained in pristine condition. Each bag features intricate floral silk embroidery on soft hide and lined with fabric.

Please refer to the last several photos to view the measurements, as they are smaller than they appear in the images.
