Item Description
Traditional Ojibway tribal waistcoat with floral bead detailing.
Originating from the Ojibwe (Ojibwa) people from what is currently Southern Canada and the North Mid-Western United States.
Handmade from smoked moose leather with tassel detailing.
Hand-beaded by an Ojibway artist in the floral style typical of the classic Eastern Woodlands style.
Yellow cotton lining and chunky heavy-duty zip.
It is in excellent vintage condition with only minor wear.
Measurements when laid flat:
Chest width - 50cm
Shoulder to shoulder width - 41cm
Length of back (including fringing) - 66cm
Width of front hem - 51cm
If it is bought to be worn I would say it is roughly a UK men’s size medium but could be worn by either sex.
