Long Beaded Strap

Ira Blount · late 20th-early 21st Century

Uniformity, symmetry, and precision are the defining characteristics of this beaded strap. In the center of the piece, a small green diamond is surrounded by yellow, orange, white, and black borders. Other shapes, including chevrons and triangles, draw attention to the geometry underpinning this beadwork. A delicate thread fringe on each short end completes the decorative craft.
