The lot features a nice Nez Perce Native American Indian handmade corn husk bag from the 19th Century. The bag shows a nice tightly woven construction with mineral pigment dyed imbricated pattern of a geometric style in red, green, and purple. The back shows a nice liniar pattern. The piece is from a large Marion, Massachusetts American Indian collection. This shows a very well preserved good condition. Corn husk bags which date to the 1800's are very scarce especially in this fine of condition. The top of the bag shows the original Indian tanned hide ties, a truly rare addition having a rich patina. The piece measures 8 3/4" long by 7 1/4" wide.
