Seed beads on a leather pouch in a Swampy Cree design, circa
1915. Much of the Faries collection is made up of pouches of
this nature. These were designed to hang on a wall to hold
small items such as letters. Faries attemped to stimulate a
demand for practical yet beautiful objects such as these, but
could not at the time find a ready southern market.
