- Description
- Pair of moosehide mitts, typical construction, plain hand, fox fur trim around wrist and top edge, fringe strip ca. 8.0 on gauntlet, floral beaded pattern on gauntlet, grey and green leaves, white stem with 2 red and blue flowers. McClelland's notes: "The beaded pattern is typical of material from the Athabascan area. This area has many groups and tribal styles including Metis. The thorn-like beadwork along the stems of the floral design is typical of most pre 1920 Metis work but by about 1915-25 it had been picked up by others so that it no longer beame a factor in bead identification."
