Description: This nicely framed moosehair
tufting on velvet is an exquisite piece of artistry. The
moosehair is dyed shades of white and brown to give a very natural
look to the piece.
The art of moosehair tufting is reviving with encouragement
from local and southern markets, and with the desire to preserve
native cultural history. This painstaking art is passed down from
mother to daughter. It entails working with the hairs of the
moose, plucking, dyeing and sewing them into intricate floral
patterns.
The framed measurements are approximately 14inches (length) x 9
inches (width)
The tufting was made by a Dene artisan (woman) living in Fort
Simpson, Northwest Territories
