- Description
-
Pair of foliated snowshoes (akimak). Outter frame in wood. Inside cut from two slightly rounded transverse wooden bars to which skin straps are attached to form the braid. Fine sinew braiding at the ends, looser in the centre. Fastening straps made of leather, fabric and rubber bands.
Men and women worked together to make snowshoes: the former made the wooden frame, the latter braided the interior. The braiding in the centre of the snowshoe had to be extremely strong to support the weight of a person.
The choice and preparation of the wood used for the shaft, as well as the cutting and braiding of the skin strips, required a great deal of technical know-how. - Format
