Bag c. 19th century

This small, hand-knitted bag from the 19th century is a striking example of folk art. Crafted in a vibrant array of colors, the piece features intricate geometric patterns and stylized floral motifs. The use of a dark background and contrasting colors accentuates the detail of the design. This bag is an anonymous work of art, a testament to the creativity of folk artists in the 19th century. The bag is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
