Moccasin Beadwork

Melita Hofmann

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a central abstract shape made up of vertical rectangular blocks with wavy edges in black, red, and green. At the bottom, an oval shape with concentric layers in black, turquoise, and beige extends outward. The structure resembles an upside-down shield or tapestry, with intricate patterns and colors adding to its complexity. The design uses abstract forms and vibrant colors to create a visually striking composition.
