- Description
-
Pair of foliate snowshoes. Outer frame in wood. Inside cut from 2 transverse wooden bars to which the skin straps forming the braid are attached. Fine sinew braiding at the ends, looser in the centre. Decorated with tufts of wool around the edges.
Men and women worked together to make snowshoes: the former made the wooden frame, the latter braided the interior. Just 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.
The decorations around the edges of the snowshoes, as well as their condition, indicate that they were intended for touring, not for hunting or logging. - Format
