A Shadow Box for a Native American PouchA Shadow Box for a Native American Pouch
 

This is a wonderful little handmade pouch that our client bought 10 years ago on a vacation to Alaska. Archival mounting was the most important factor in the design. We hand stitched the pouch in many places onto an acid free fabric mat board.

We added a layer of spacing under the top mat to keep the glass from touching the pouch.
