Sold to Raymond Brown this 9th day of August, 1976, one beaded buckskin bag, “Good Luck” design, with sinew stitching. My great grandfather, Geronimo, carried this bag for good luck. The small bag was a secret medicine bag. This bag was kept in a trunk for sixty years and I inherited it from my father, Geronimo of Taos.
