- Description
-
Pair of foliated snowshoes. Outer frame in wood. Inside cut from two transverse wooden bars to which the skin and yellow string straps are attached to form the weave. Tie straps in the centre. Green wool decoration all around.
Men and women worked together to make snowshoes: the former made the wooden frame, the latter braided the interior. As much as the choice and preparation of the wood used for the barrel, the cutting and braiding of the skin strips required a great deal of technical know-how.
These snowshoes may have been used by a young child, but it's more likely that they were simply used for decoration. - Format
