Apache Awl Case / 1875

A long tapered case constructed from native-tanned hide and pigmented with yellow ochre. The opening features sinew-sewn yellow and black seed beads, with a brass button on the flap. Diagonal black lines on a yellow field decorate both sides, segmented by lanes of tin cones. The drop comprises a black diamond above geometric triangles.
