Datelate 19th to early 20th century
Label TextThe Nez Perce and Klickitat are "horse people" and used woven bags and baskets for collecting and transporting roots, berries and other foods. Flexible flat bags of local hemp were embellished with a yellow background of corn husk; then colored decorative elements were added using a “false embroidery” technique. Patterns are stylizations of natural elements and, occasionally, pictorial images.
