Label TextThe exceptional antiquity of this small delicate bag has been revealed by carbon dating. The bag is also remarkable for the fineness of its weave and for the survival of the drawstring around the opening. The weaver decorated the bag with alternating geometric bands of red and black, providing a contrast with the natural honey color of the hemp. Anestral Puebloans made a number of different types of bags and pouches.ProvenancePrivate collection, western New Mexico; Jerold Collings, Phoenix, Arizona; Toby Herbst, Galisteo, New Mexico
