Ute Paint Bag

Offered by: Marcy Burns American Indian Arts LLC

Description
The Ute Indians lived in Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico during the 19th century. Being a migratory group who traveled on horseback, their clothing and utensils necessarily had to travel easily. Before a warrior went into battle, he painted his face with designs that he hoped would give him power and protections.

This bag is of a style that was used to carry paints. It dates to the period right before or during the period when the Indians forced to live on Reservations. It is a very desirable piece to collect.
