Pouch

American

Not on view

The coloration on this pouch bag, particularly the use of aqua blue, is especially fine. The color and form of the floral pattern is evocative of the work of William Morris.

Margaret S. Bedell (1861-1932) donated, by gift or bequest, over 500 objects to the Brooklyn Museum, including furniture, quilts, samplers, costume and Native American beadwork. Her collection of American and European beaded bags includes examples from Philadelphia and the Catskill Mountain region of New York State, as well as Italy, Austria, Germany, and Holland.
