Description
Southern Plains Beaded Hide Strike-a-Light Bag
fourth quarter 19th century
possibly Comanche, sinew-sewn thick hide and beaded using colors white, red white-heart, dark blue, black, greasy yellow, pink, and pea green; further embellished with tin cone fringe and an 1838 Liberty Head Large Cent coin
overall length 7 inches
An argument rages among the experts about how to differentiate between the work of these two [Kiowa and Comanche] tribes. Â The Comanche seem to have preferred white or green backgrounds and simpler designs. Â With strike-a-light bags, they may have continued to use the older, rectangular shape into the twentieth century. Â However, intermarriage and constant interchange of designs and artifacts have rendered differentiation nearly impossible, unless tribal origin was carefully documented at the time the object was acquired (Hanson 1994: 89).
