Item Details

Description

Native American, Northwestern United States, Columbia River Plateau region, Nez Perce, ca. late 19th to early 20th CE.

The natural and dyed cornhusks are false embroidered over the surface and embellished with colored yarn into geometric patterns.

Size: 21.5" L x 15.5" W (54.6 cm x 39.4 cm)
