Container c. 20th century

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.
