This c. 1885 "Gun Case" by A'aninin (Gros Ventre) is a striking example of Plains Indian beadwork and leatherworking. The piece, which is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a detailed and intricately crafted gun case adorned with colorful beadwork, fringes, and geometric patterns. The intricate beadwork and fringed leather accents demonstrate the skill and artistry of the Gros Ventre people, showcasing their traditional craftsmanship.
