MittensA2.520 a-b

Pair of mittens made of caribou skin with thick fur. Each mitten is made of four pieces of skin. One piece forms the back of the mitten, a second piece forms the top of the palm and inside of the thumb. The third piece forms the base of the palm and other side of the thumb. Another piece is attached as cuffs around the wrists. Each mitten has a strip of white caribou fur attached to the wrist; these in turn are tied to each other. The pieces that form the cuffs are attached with the skin to the outside and folded so that the fur shows on the outside as well. The cuffs are not very long, just covering the wrists. The hair on the inside of the right hand thumb (part a) is removed. A black cord is attached to the cuff of the left hand mitten.
