Exhibition Label: "Passages: Persistent Visions of a Native Place," Sep-2011, Nancy Mahaney This Cheyenne “possible” bag, named this for its many uses, is beaded using long rows of lazy stitch-a faster style of beading-and designed with three panels utilizing positive and negative space. This design, also seen on the Cheyenne parfleche, illustrates a continuation of tradition from paint to quillwork to beads; design traditions endured as mediums of expression changed.
