Iroquois beaded bags (also known as Haudenosaunee beaded bags) are exquisite examples of Native American artistry from the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) people, primarily created by women in regions like upstate New York and southern Canada.
These small purses or pouches, often made from cloth like velvet, silk, or wool backed with cotton or linen, feature intricate glass beadwork in vibrant colors. They typically measure around 5–7 inches and include elements like drawstrings, fringes, or straps.The tradition evolved from pre-contact quillwork on hide to European-influenced glass bead embroidery in the late 18th century.
