Folky Five Elk Plateau Beaded Bag

One of the pleasures for me about Plateau beaded flat bags is that in addition to being American Indian works of great beauty, so often they are wonderful examples of Folk Art as well. This bag exemplifies so well that dual nature of the art. If that was not enough, the woman who made this bag beaded linear designs on the leather back, something I have rarely seen. What an interesting bag.
