A Gallery of Shoshone-Bannock Beadwork 1950-present In the modern era, Shoshone-Bannock beadwork takes on two primary forms. The first is the use of very realistic floral designs, including the dominant use of the now-famous "Shoshone Rose." The second is a movement toward geometric designs of triangles, slanting parallelograms, abstract mountains, etc. There is also a continuation of the use of figural images, including horses, elk, deer, buffalo, etc. The beaded items below are arranged in a rough chronological order. Oldest examples are shown first. Click on thumbnails to see larger image and provenance/source.
