Headpiece c. 1960

This is an anonymous, hand-crafted "Headpiece" from around 1960, and is currently in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. It is a long, beaded, and woven, piece composed primarily of black and red. The top part of the piece features a woven band that is composed of orange, blue, and red, and features a repeating, diamond-shaped pattern. The bottom of the piece features a cluster of colored beads hanging from the long, woven strands. It is an interesting, folk-art, example of textile art from the early 20th century.
