About the Item

A fine Native American woven purse. From Chimayo (a region inhabited by Pueblo Indians since about 1200 CE). Dating from the 1940s - 1950s. Principally in gray wool with red, white and black highlights. Lined with a silk lining and a steel zipper. Simply a wonderful Chimayo purse! Date: Mid-20th Century Overall Condition: It is in overall good, as-pictured, used estate condition. Condition Details: There is bleeding from the red dyes that have colored some elements pink. The zipper has had a 2" section of the stitching to the inner pocket that has opened up to the back. The zipper and button are still fully functional. There are a few small 'rust' spots of staining to the weave. Otherwise, there are some fine light surface scratches and other signs of expected light wear consistent with age. Marks: With a stitched tag to the interior that reads: Chimayo Purse / Hand Woven / Hand Tailored Measurements: Height: ca. 5 1/2 in. Width: ca. 9 1/4 in. Depth: ca. 7/8 in.
