"Panel Bag" - (Bags)
product ID
From an original in the American Museum of Natural History in NYC, this bag is made using hemp cordage and wool yarn. Woven with a method called twining. Bag is Approx 17"W by 14"H. Used for storage and as medicine bags these "panel" bags begin to show up in collections around the end of the 1800's and disappear around 1930. The techniques and various warp arrangements show up in a very few remnants of fabric and as impressions on pottery sherds from the Mississipian culture (600AD to 1600AD). Other style bags using the same techniques but less use of figures for decoration begin to show up as collected in the second half of the 1700's. Like on fingerwoven bags, the designs are almost always different on each side of the bag.
