Sunday-go-to-meetin Black Bear quiver

(1/5) > >>

half eye:
Here is the latest quiver. Black Bear (got in a trade with Gsulfidge) the decoration is all made from "pre-contact" type materials. The quiver and bandolier are hair on black bear, the "rosettes" are plaited buckskin that's been stretched into the shape of a half globe with white mink tail pendants. The pendant in the middle is another rosette with a bone hair-pipe, and the carving is a buffalo leg bone (trade from ThomasH). The stiffener is split ash and the skin side of the fur is painted red (powder+ egg-white&water) the last few pics are detail close-ups.
     Hope that ya like and please feel free to comment or crtique.
