Bags
There were a great variety of bags and pouches used by Indian warriors for war, hunting or grooming purposes: war (hunting or shot) bags, dispatch/toiletry bags, mirror bags, tobacco/pipe bags etc. Besides, Indians had no pockets, so had to make smaller bags for everything (strike-a-light bags, paint bags etc). Pipe and tobacco bags were used to secure and save Indian Warrior's smoking materials. All these bags' fancy decoration celebrated the contents and served as an item of pride and beauty for all to see. These lavishly decorated bags are equally popular with today's collectors as they were to their early creators and users.
