- A pair of finely made, lightly beaded, gauntleted gloves. The hand bodies are cut from a single piece of hide with the thumb inset, and gauntlet is made from two pieces seamed to the handpiece at the wrist and at the extremities. A fringe of buckskin is added at the outside. The wrist seam is disguised by a strip of lazy stitch green beads with a few lines of red and black. The edges of the gauntlets are bordered in black and white trapezoids, and across the gauntlets three strips of black and white triangles are accented by strips of yellow, vermilion, rose, and green.
