Hand Woven Wool American Flag

Measures 34" x 37"

A beautifully woven piece of art with history. This expertly woven tapestry is made of hand curried wool and dyes from natural ingredients. The corners are tied off with tassels. It is in perfect condition with no damage or stains of any kind. It comes from a smoke/pet free environment and has been used as a wall hanging. 

This weaving design dates back to the 1800's when Native Americans would adopted the use of the American flag ito their weavings. These weavings could have originally been a sign of solidarity that would allow them to keep their lands or acquire special assistance from the government. Flags have long been exchanged with peace treaties, while Wild West shows and celebrations surrounding the American centennial have made the stars and stripes a common image across the country. Alternatively, Native Americans may have incorporated the flag as an image of ironic defiance and a reminder that the tribes continued to exist despite what seemed the best efforts of the US government to eradicate them. The flag was often depicted upside-down,  as could be the case here, if it is folded in half and used as a saddle blanket. Similar examples can be found in the National Museum of the American Indian.
