Native American Inspired Bag- SOLD

Even a cursory perusal of early hunting pouches will show a native influence no matter who carried the bag. This bag is the second that I have completed and is made from soft cowhide and is not lined. there is no buckle on this strap and it hangs almost to my waist as a 6' tall man. I can add a buckle or extend/shorten the strap at your command. The strap is now approximately 44" long. All stitches are hand sewn and I use only flax thread. The leather is covered with a proprietary  dressing to both protect and serve as waterproofing The large beaver tail styled flap has been stitched with frontier folk art that is also reminiscent of the floral patterns of the Great Lakes tribes. The red dyed deer hair and tin cones lend a native influence as well. The bag is decorated with a scallop along it's upper edge as well as an inner pocket sized for your smaller tools. The bag is 9" wide and 8 1/2" tall. . All seams are covered and the flap is both scalloped and fringed.  Did I mention it's hand stitched? This bag took me more than 25 hours from start to finish. This bag will come with a warranty card that gives the owner a lifetime repair promise. If you wreck it, I will fix it. All you have to do is pay shipping!  The card will also state that this is bag number two from Dumb Dutchmen Leather. I would like $95.00 for the bag. Contact me for details and payment procedures.
