An example of Great Lakes floral beadwork with a solidly beaded background....

The first pic shows a Chippewa beaded belt, circa 1900-10. Note the cockerel design on the small pouch, attached.

The second pic shows a Chippewa bandoleer bag, circa 1900. The lower part of the large beaded panel is solidly beaded in couched overlay technique on canvas; the part above it on dark velvet. The broad strap is loom-beaded.
