A Plateau region flat bag, likely Yakima, featuring glass seed beadwork on a textile foundation. The rectangular bag displays four stylized floral motifs rendered in polychrome glass beads of red, blue, orange, yellow, and green. These floral elements are positioned against a solid white beaded ground and enclosed within a blue and white geometric checkerboard border. The edges are finished with a light blue ribbon binding that extends to form two integrated top handles. The reverse side of the bag is composed of a coarse brown woven material, likely burlap or hemp. The construction utilizes traditional bead embroidery techniques common to the Plateau region of the Northwestern United States.
