Arapaho "dispatch" case, Ca. 1870s

$0.00

A “dispatch” case on commercial leather, beaded in transparent “wine” red, turquoise blue, white, dark blue and “greasy” yellow seed beads, with fringe of brain-tanned hide, probably deer. Commonly referred to as “dispatch cases” because of their similarity to cavalry dispatch cases, bags of this type were more likely used as mirror bags. This bag measerures eight by seventeen inches including fringe.
