Description

A pair of fancy caribou skin gloves. The fingers are each made from a separate piece with the seam along the top sewn onto the hand piece. Decorative trims around the cuffs, across the knuckles and outlining the thumbs are pieced with strips of clipped dark and light caribou hide. Pieces of dark caribou skin are prominent on front and back of the gloves. A strip of wolverine fur with red colouring encircles the cuffs.
