☩ Central & Northern Plains Indians made paint stick cases by winding or wrapping beads around a tubular shaft, made originally of rawhide and later sometimes of cardboard. Depending on size, some of these cases may be awl holders as well. These cases were tied on warrrior's bow case or hung on women's belts.
