Woven corn husk and yarn bag by Viola Morris. This bag is new, never used, has an attached coin bag. Beading is different on each side. 7.5" x 6". Deerskin handles and ties. Most cornhusk bags have geometric designs, however Viola Morris stuck to the floral designs she used in her beaded bags. Flat twined bags, frequently called cornhusk bags, are an art unique to indigenous groups of the Plateau region of North America. Weavers use the false embroidery twining technique to create patterns and motifs. This is done during the actual weaving, by wrapping a strand of decorative material (cornhusk, yarn) around the outside weft as it crosses over the warp. The later bags of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries are almost always completely covered in false embroidery because they were used more as handbags. One of the most characteristic features of these bags is the distinction of two different designs on each face of the bag. The weavers were thus creating two different designs at once, and because of this no two bags look alike. City: State: Idaho Date: HWAC# 52163
