This gutskin bag used for holding sewing implements was loaned to the museum collection by Thomas & Lila Schwantes. It was made by Lila's grandmother Evdokia Nekrasoff in the 1920s, given to her mother Laura Olsen as a wedding gift, and finally gifted to her husband Thomas after they helped rebuild a banya.
