Shot pouch/pipe tomahawk carrier

This is a combination small pouch and carrier for a pipe tomahawk made from cowhide with pigskin trim.  There is a rawhide insert around the tomahawk blade which is secured with an antique bone button. The small pouch has rolled welts and binding and a homespun pattern lining on the decorated flap. The strap is made from hemp and with brass hardware.  This was intended as a companion piece for this game bag:  http://ewingscreekpouches.blogspot.com/2013/11/game-bag.html

Hawk sheath

This is a hawk sheath with a shoulder strap.  It is made from cowhide with a rawhide liner.  The user requested a Lenape Turtle symbol on the flap.  I based the simple stitched design from one reportedly shown on a map drawn by a Munsee prophet dated 1760 (http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/index.ssf?/specialprojects/lenape/symbols.html).
