Lot 23: Appalachian Style Hunting Bag by: Scott Bryan

For this year’s CLF Fundraising Auction, Pennsylvania artist Scott Bryan has created a classic hunting bag that evokes the legacy and heritage of the early frontier. Bryan’s heart-shaped, Appalachian-style bag is made from richly colored bark-tanned deerskin. The front flap is decorated with a trio of inlaid turkey tracks in a hue that tastefully contrasts the color of the bag.

The interior of the bag, which features an additional pocket, is lined with tapestry material. The bag’s strap is a heavyweight strip of cowhide that’s fully adjustable using an iron buckle. Bryan’s hunting pouch is also accompanied by a river cane powder measure and a deerskin shot bag with a turned spout.
