Description
Pair of leaf-shaped, light brown wooden snowshoes; one end is rounded and sharply upturned while the other tapers gently to an extended point. Three wooden crossbars separate the rawhide latticework into three main sections, with a mesh-like pattern at the two ends and open, rectangular grid-like strapping in the centre. Tufts of red fabric and bristly white hair are tied along the centre of the front and back panels.
