Bag c. 18th century

This 18th-century bag, made by an anonymous artist, is a fine example of textile art. The bag features a richly patterned fabric with a dense floral design, executed in shades of red, blue, and green. The design is characteristic of the paisley pattern, a popular motif found in textiles from India and Persia. This particular bag, housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of anonymous artisans working in the 18th century.
