The piece, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, features a red fabric base adorned with a variety of beads in clear, green, blue, and gold hues. This exquisite example of Native American beadwork showcases traditional artistry and the skillful manipulation of beads to create intricate patterns and textures. The piece's small size and delicate detail suggest its potential use as a decorative element or a personal ornament, reflecting the artistic traditions and cultural significance of beadwork within the Haudenosaunee community.
