This decorative object consists of a dark green glass bottle fully encased in a hand-stitched beadwork sleeve. The beadwork is executed using small glass seed beads in a palette of yellow, red, black, white, and terracotta. The decorative program is structured in horizontal registers, beginning at the tapered neck with alternating colored bands. The main body features three stacked tiers of interlocking geometric chevron patterns: a top tier of yellow and white, a middle tier of red and black, and a bottom tier in black and white. The construction utilizes a peyote or gourd stitch variation applied over a substrate of leather or heavy fabric. The base is finished with a circular panel of dark-toned buckskin or heavy textile showing significant wear and patina. The crown-finish mouth of the glass bottle remains exposed and shows a dark green color.
