Native American Indian Buckskin Medicine Bag

Paula says -

"The long strap enables you to wear this bag around the neck, waist, cross body or as a shoulder bag. They are big! You can carry a host of necessities or treasures in this generous pouch - they would make an excellent Strike-a-Light bag! "And the sound of the many jingle cones as you move is wonderful music. I love these pouches!

"As far as Tan vs. Light Tan, natural deerskin can vary from a buff which we call Light Tan to a warmer, more golden tan which we call Tan. Look at A and C to get an idea of the difference in color when you make your choice. But note that deerskin that is not dyed (this deerskin is not dyed) will vary somewhat in the earth tone colors."

What is a Strike a Light bag?

Native American women would tie a bag like this under their apron and would carry in it items necessary for making a fire. This would usually consist of flint, a "Strike-a-Light" which is a special steel plate to use with the flint for creating sparks to start a fire, and tinder (such as dry moss or rabbit fur) to catch the sparks and start the fire.
