This handmade pincushion was created by an Iroquois Native American. At the turn of the 20th century, Iroquois men and women crafted beadwork souvenirs in the Niagara Falls area and the St. Lawrence River Valley, near Montreal. Pincushions were made of velvet, polished cotton, silk, and linen. This bird features a hook to hang on the wall. Other common motifs included hearts, circles, stars, shoes, and boots.
