The medicine bag was used to hold items that provided protection from evil spirits. Within Alutiiq/Sugpiaq culture when an infant was born, the amniotic sac was dried by the midwife and placed into a medicine bag then placed around the infants' neck. It provided reassurance and protection for the infant.
This Beluga medicine bag is 15 1/2" inches long. The pouch is 2 1/2" by 2 1/2" inches. There is no clasp.
The pouch is made with satin and polyester fabrics and has a turquoise mesh overlay. The kelp is made with green speciality yarn; the coral was created with a orange varigated embroidery thread.
The Beluga bead is ceramic and there is a metal fish charm on the bottom.
Sseed beads are used for the necklace chain, trimming and "sand" and are in blues and greens.
