Parfleche

Cleveland Museum of Art

The artwork, titled Parfleche, by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, depicts a drawing on a folded, tied object. The object appears to be made of a light brown material, possibly leather or paper, with a geometric pattern painted on it in blue, red, green, and yellow. The pattern consists of triangles and lines forming an 'X' shape, with the colors arranged in a symmetrical design. The object is folded in half and tied with a thin, light brown string that wraps around the middle. The background of the image is a solid gray color. The object is positioned with the folded edge facing upwards and the tied string visible in the center. The overall appearance suggests a handmade or traditional piece of art.
