Indian notes

Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, Jay I. Kislak Reference Collection (Library of Congress) DLC · 1924 · New York : Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation · 17 pictures

Indian Notes is a 1924 museum publication issued in New York by the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, for readers interested in Native American material culture. The pictures are plain black-and-white photographs and line drawings of objects: a laced drum with sticks, a coiled basket band with geometric bands, two carved wooden implements, and a painted pottery bowl with a bird motif. A designer could take their bold repeating geometry and stepped triangle patterns as reference for surface pattern work.
