Description
Native American Indian, Columbia Plateau area, probably Nez Perce, possibly Yakama, Cayuse, Palouse, Walla Walla, or Umatilla, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A finely woven, flat corn husk bag with a cotton rim. One side is decorated with geometric flags designs in red, aqua, lavender, and green hues against the natural ground. The other features an abstract, diamond pattern ingreen, blue, and black hues against a natural ground. Woven cornhusk bags like this one were sought after trade items in the Plateau trade network. As time went on, these bags were created with more brightly colored false embroidery of cornhusk or acrylic yarn. This one is a wonderful early example of a form unique to the Columbia Plateau area. Size: 10" W x 11.5" H (25.4 cm x 29.2 cm)
