Beaded Bag 1910 - 1930

This vibrantly colored "Beaded Bag" is a striking example of traditional beadwork. Crafted sometime between 1910 and 1930 by an unknown artist, the bag features intricate beadwork patterns in a variety of colors. The design depicts a white horse surrounded by birds, snakes, and geometric motifs on a black background, all framed by a colorful border. The bag's strap is also made of beads and features a repeated geometric pattern, creating a visually stunning ensemble. The bag's beaded tassels add to the visual appeal of the artwork and are common features in traditional Native American beadwork. It is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
