Unusual and Special 1832 Strip Beaded, Silk Lined Pouch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis one is a bit of a mystery to me, but one of my favorite finds of the week, and I think quite a special and wonderful thing. With beaded name along the top on one side, which looks like Marietta (with backward \"e\") Carl to me (but there may be a bit of loss on at the end), and dated 1834 at the bottom on the opposite side. Clearly beaded first in thin thin strips with this marvelous sampler-like sequence of designs (heart, diamonds, stars, crosses, arrows, key, etc.) then sewn onto the silk lined pouch. I purchased it from a dealer in upstate New York who had several Iroquois beaded pin cushions alongside it, but I have not been able to find another similar example for reference.
