Catalogue Description:
Plains type man's headdress case. Probably Blackfoot because of the bear claw design and the parallel lines, although the case does have a wide border and curved elements that are not usually seen on Blackfoot objects. Possibly missing a top piece otherwise in good condition. Possibly Sioux and Northern Plains for sure.
