c.1870-1890.  Bannock beaded pouch.  Buckskin, sinew, glass seed beads, tin cones.  Colors are basically the same as used in Shoshone beadwork, but the design, which often symbolizes the four directions, is not found in most early Shoshone work.   Beads are lazy-stitched.  Collected by Captain John G. Bourke, accessioned in 1891. Cat. No. E4151984.  Courtesy NMNH, Suitland, MD.
