Lakota Sioux beaded and quilled buckskin pipe bag featuring two distinct rectangular panels of glass seed beadwork on a white ground. The construction utilizes brain-tanned buckskin with beadwork applied in the lazy stitch technique. One face displays a vertical sequence of stacked hourglass and diamond motifs in red and blue with dark accents. The opposing face depicts three vertical rows of geometric motifs, typically identified as butterfly or dragonfly symbols, in blue, red, and green. The lower section consists of a row of buckskin slats wrapped in dyed porcupine quills, arranged in alternating horizontal bands of red, white, and black pigments. The bag terminates in long, thin buckskin fringes. The upper portion of the hide bag shows visible grain and natural contours of the skin.
