+ Montana-Made Buffalo Hide Medicine Bag +

 This Medicine Bag was made, by my dear friend in Montana, of old weathered Buffalo Hide from the 1920"s!  It was designed in the Northern Plains style & the fringe is repurposed braintan hide with yellow ochre natural clay paint, authentically made in the Cheyenne tradition. The leather is crisp & stiff in texture. The interior contains a tuft of Buffalo fur to bestow the wearer with Good Fortune, Strength & Protection!
