bandolier bag

David Ring

Drawing made by David Ring for the visualisation of the Europeana Fashion Thesaurus. The description of the concept in this drawing is: General purpose bags carried by North American Indians with attached shoulder straps worn over the shoulder and across the breast. Usually made of wool, muslin, or buckskin and heavily decorated with beadwork, quillwork, or embroidery. For shoulder belts worn across the breast from which wallets, small bags, or pockets often containing ammunition are sometimes suspended, use "bandoliers." (AAT)
