Parfleche Date Unknown

This "Parfleche" is a decorated hide container, traditionally used by Native American tribes for storage and carrying goods. The artwork, likely created by a member of the Wind River Shoshone tribe, features a geometric pattern of blue, red, and yellow triangles and squares, painted onto the rawhide. The distinct design and vibrant colors are characteristic of Plains Indian art and contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of this functional artwork. The parfleche is held together by a rawhide closure, which further enhances its practical and artistic value.
