About this item

Finger-woven items such as bags, garters, and sashes were designed and woven by Northeast Woodlands Indigenous women. The design on this wool sash is characteristic of motifs from the Great Lakes region which includes parallel zigzags, diagonal grids, and diamond-chain designs. This sash has a multi-colored chevron pattern with glass beads and fringe. There is a small pouch sewn on one end.
