EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two types of salt bottles crafted by the Iroquois Native Americans of New York State. The bottles, made from twined corn husks, are a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of the Iroquois people. The wood engraving, taken from Lewis Henry Morgan's "League of the Iroquois" published in 1851, beautifully captures the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating these unique vessels. Each bottle features a carefully woven pattern using twine made from Indian corn husks. These salt bottles served an important purpose in Iroquois society as containers for storing and preserving salt. Salt was a valuable commodity during this time period and played a vital role in food preservation and flavoring. Looking at this image transports us back to mid-19th century North America when indigenous cultures thrived amidst changing landscapes. It offers us a glimpse into the daily lives of the Iroquois people, their resourcefulness, and their deep connection with nature. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also recognize it as an embodiment of centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. This photograph is part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection - an exquisite collection that celebrates diverse cultures and historical moments through visual storytelling.
