Detail of Bandolier Bag This part of the bag, featuring a geometric floral design, was made on a loom; then it was sewn onto the bag. A loom consisted of long threads that were stretched across a rectangular wooden frame. Beads were strung on another thread that was woven over and under the longer threads to form this design.
