« A much more utilitarian pair of mittens from Kiskisink, showing signs of considerable wear, is made of canvas with a lining of heavy black wool cloth. They consist of four pieces, one each for the palm and back of the hand, and one each for the inside and outside of the thumb; there is no cuff. » Ibis
