Native American Style Turtle Shell Bag with Beaded Fringe (Likely Lakota)

A striking Native American style turtle shell bag, most likely Lakota in origin. The natural shell body displays warm brown and amber tones with beautifully defined scute patterning, making each piece entirely one of a kind.

Long buckskin-style fringe hangs from the shell, accented with red, green, and dark trade beads and finished with metal tinkler cones that catch the light and chime with movement. The craftsmanship and materials reflect traditional regalia and beadwork techniques.

In excellent, unused condition and ready to display. A rare find for collectors of Native American style art and beadwork. Please ask questions or request additional photos before purchasing; all sales are final. The piece will be carefully packed with foam and bubble wrap for safe travel.
