Woman's Brush Dance Skirt06.331.7923

This skirt would be worn wrapped from back around the sides. The open front would then be covered by a fringed apron. This skirt shows signs of much wear. Most of the materials it is made from are from local sources with the exception of two copper discs, shaped and cut like the abalone. All the ornaments in addition to being aesthetically pleasing would make a sound as the woman moved in the dance. A small blue bead is fastened in the fringe.

Culture
Hupa and Yurok
Material
hide, abalone shell, clam shell, copper metal, bear grass, maidenhair fern, iris fibre and glass bead
Holding Institution
