Subject
plain twined storage bag
Description
As scholars and collectors became increasingly interested in Native American art over the course of the 20th century, more effort was made to preserve the names and identities of those craftspeople who were still actively practicing the traditional arts. This bag, for instance, is recorded as having been created by a mid-century Nez Perce weaver known as Mrs. Bull Weasel.
