This Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) "Container" is an example of intricate beadwork created in the 20th century. The small container, decorated with floral motifs in shades of blue, green, and gold, is a testament to the artistic skill and cultural traditions of the Haudenosaunee people. The use of colorful beads creates a visually striking piece that reflects the rich history and artistry of this Indigenous group. This container, housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a valuable piece of Native American art history.
