Bag c. 19th century

This 19th-century "Bag" from the Minneapolis Institute of Art showcases intricate embroidery and textile techniques. The vibrant purple fabric is adorned with colorful thread work, including stylized motifs and geometric patterns. Its fringed edges, embellished with tassels in shades of orange, green, and purple, add a touch of decorative flair. The artwork is a testament to the skillful craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of anonymous artists in the 19th century.
