Plateau Nez Perce double-sided beaded bags are beautiful examples of traditional Native American craftsmanship from the Plateau region, particularly associated with the Nez Perce (Nimi'ipuu) people.
These bags are typically flat, purse-like items made from leather (often hide or deerskin) with intricate glass beadwork covering both sides. They often feature different designs on each side—such as floral motifs (roses, tulips, or other flowers), clouds, geometric patterns, or occasionally animals like elk. The beadwork uses vibrant colors and seed beads in lane stitch or similar techniques common to Plateau tribes. They usually include hide or beaded handles/straps and sometimes fringe for decoration.
