This lot features a beautiful antique Lapwai Nez Perce Indian whirling log design quilt. The word "Lapwai" means place of the butterflies, as the area had thousands in early summer in earlier years. The area that is today Lapwai ID was the home of Hin-ma-tute-ke-kaikt, also known as Big Thunder and later as James. It was here that Henry H. Spalding established a Protestant mission among the Nez Perce in 1836. The quilt is in good condition for age. Measurements: 86" X 71.5"
