Deer Robe w. Beadwork & Ermine

Like the buffalo, deer were a very large part of daily life among the plains tribes. In addition to the high protein venison; hides, antlers, and bones were all used to create a variety of items to include clothing, utensils, decorations, and weapons.

This deer robe features a blue beaded center strip and box border done in the lazy stitch technique. The bottom of the robe is accented with Ermine skins, deer toes, and deer antler buttons. Imitation elk teeth and deer toes are used to decorate the top of the robe.
