Size is 3 wide and 5.5 long with the tin cones. It is sinew sewn in great old bead colors of white, greasy green, gresay yellow, colbalt blue, and white center red. Front panel of beadwork is on parfleche hide and the back is brain tanned hide (buffalo)? . From the back rae two twisted fringe drops one is broken off and the other has two tin cones on the end.
Neat! . Case exhibits wear and has good patina a few of the cones are missing as can be expected with a 100 plus year old item.
