Description
Pair of soft beaded hide gloves, or gauntlets, that reach to mid forearm. On the back of the hand are three lines of beads, white and red, with the two outer lines holding three green leaves each. On the back of the wrist is a white beaded flower with dark red centre and accent. It has two vines in the same colours, also with three green leaves per vine. On the outside wrist edge of each glove is a long hide fringe. The top cuff of the glove is rounded, while the underside cuff is straight. The wrist portion of the glove is decorated front and back as well as top and bottom with scalloped edging.
Narrative
Noted as being from St. Mary's Reserve, near Cranbrook. The donor was related, through her mother, Ida McKinney (nee Clark), to Andrew and Mae Clark. The Clarks (her mother's aunt and uncle) were homesteaders on a property near Cranbrook, near St. Mary's Reserve. Apparently gifts were exchanged between the family and their Ktunaxa neighbours on the reserve. These two pieces, 2964/1-2, were said to have been given by the Clarks to the donor's mother in the 1920s or 1930s.
