These flat, rectangular or pouch-style bags, often made from leather (like smoke-tanned hide) and decorated with colorful glass seed beads, emerged prominently in the mid-to-late 19th century. They evolved from earlier woven cornhusk bags used for storage, transitioning into decorative purses or accessories carried by women to display skill, status, and cultural pride.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45877298430117,"sku":"200120-58","price":1450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/s725348264778838518_p5320_i37_w900.jpg?v=1757345831","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/200120-58-large-nez-perce-beaded-bag-15-1-2-x-12-3-4","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
