Item Details
Description
Multicolored triangle and diamond design, double beaded drops, loom beaded wrap. Pink, turquoise, blue, yellow, and red as dominant colors. Stands 17" tall on the custom stand. Menominee women pulled their hair back into a single braid, which was then threaded through a leather tube beaded with geometric designs, to which two beaded pendants were attached. The tube was usually beaded with an overlay stitch, while the pendants were woven with beads. The pendant pattern here represents otter tracks, the diamonds representing footprints, the long rectangles signifying the animal's tail dragging in the mud. The designs were worked in quills before beads were introduced through trade.
