medicine bag

Portable remedy container

A medicine bag is a small pouch worn by some Native American peoples, traditionally containing sacred or spiritually significant objects—herbs, stones, feathers, or other items believed to offer protection, healing, or spiritual power.

The contents are typically personal and private, chosen for their meaning to the wearer.

He never removed the medicine bag his grandfather had given him.
