Lot 20: Heart Shaped Bag by Cory Joe Stewart

Artist Cory Joe Stewart has created an outstanding example of the classic heart-shaped bag for this year’s CLF Fundraising Auction.  

It’s a stellar piece fully appropriate for the field, but is a work of art suitable for display in home or office. Stewart crafted the body of the bag from bark tanned deer hide; the interior is fully lined with linen. The bag is fitted with a strap by noted artist Kris Polizzi.  

This utilitarian shooter’s bag is also visually stunning. It’s nicely fringed with bark tanned deer hide and the margin of the bag is decorated with a contrasting row of white glass beads. The front flap of the bag features attractive cutouts of weeping hearts and a cross, which are accented with red wool from a trade blanket.
