Object description

Väst, en gosses, av buckskinn med mycket riklig pärlstickning.

"Buckskin", innebär att den råa huden först mjukbehandlats genom att gnidas in med djurets hjärna och lever. Därefter slås den med en sten och sträckes ut på marken för att torka. För att motverka att den sedan skall bli hård efter regn rökbehandlas den. Skinnet kan sedan ligga en dag i en lösning av rödeksbark varvid den får en gulröd färg. "Buckskin" är mjukt och smidigt och kan lätt skäras och tvättas. Dessutom är det vindtätt, vilket var viktigt på den blåsiga prärien./SB, ASH

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
