The only marks on it are the natural imperfections in the leather and through the tanning process. It does have a couple of very small holes in the top, but once again it is from the tanning or the skinning process. It was definately smoke tanned, as it still has that odor. It has never been in a smoking home or environment, so the odor is from the tanning process and the natural smell of the leather. The buttons on the front flap are from either a deer or small elk antler. The decoration hanging off the back, is made from horse hair, and is removable...it is just tied on with one of the fringe strings. I would say that the size would probably be about a Misses size 12.
