Nez Perce Corn Husk & Hide Flat Bag c. 1890
The lot features a very fine early circa 1890's corn husk and hide flat bag from the Nez Perce Native American Indians. The bag shows a very tightly woven corn husk fiber bag showing mineral pigment dyes having all geometric patterns. The bag shows an Indian tanned hide top with Indian tanned hide hand cut fringe at the bottom adorned with period correct glass trade exotic beads in cobalt. The corn husk work is extremely tight and is truly a rare example. The bag shows overall very good condition. Measures 15"L x 8.5"W.
