"Tsii' Edo' Ai" (meaning "the flute"), created by Apache artist Chappo Geronimo between 1883 and 1893, is a significant example of Native American musical craftsmanship. The wooden flute, decorated with geometric patterns in green and black paint, showcases the artist's skill and cultural heritage. This instrument, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, provides a tangible link to Apache musical traditions and represents a unique combination of artistic expression and practical function. The flute's simple yet elegant design and carefully placed holes speak to the precision and artistry of its creator.
