This circa 1900 Nez Perce Corn Husk bag with Germantown Yarn is a beautiful piece of Native American art and history. Measuring 11.25" H by 9.75" W, this bag is in well-kept good condition with no apparent major damages.
The Nez Perce people have a long and rich history of crafting corn husk bags, which were used for a variety of purposes. Corn husks were readily available to the Nez Perce and could be harvested and processed into a strong and durable material. Bags were often used for storage, transport, and as decorative items for ceremonies and special events.
The addition of Germantown yarn, a type of wool yarn that was produced in the late 1800s and early 1900s, added an extra element of color and design to these bags. The vibrant colors of the yarn would have made this bag a standout piece among other corn husk bags.
This bag shows a nice tight weave with geometric pattern in Germantown yarn on both sides. The symbols include a tiered storm diamond pattern and eight-point stars in vibrant colors.
Overall, this Nez Perce Corn Husk bag with Germantown Yarn is a beautiful and valuable piece of Native American art and history that would make a wonderful addition to any collection or display.
