This strap was adapted from the strap on the screwtip horn in the book "Warriors". Roland Cadle has done a reproduction of this horn for the CLA auction in August at the annual meeting in Lexington, KY. Width and length (2" x 47")of this version is somewhat different and I chose to dye the strap a rich madder red. Woven with fine yarns like the originals and naturally dyed with madder root, by far the most common red dye in the 18th century in North America.

- $675.00
This short fringed sash, or strap gets it’s bead design from a pair of Great Lakes garter drops collected around 1780. The small yarns are typical of nearly all weaving from the 18th and early 19th centuries, with the yarn and beads often being even smaller than used in this piece. Especially in items thought to be later in the over-all period. The heavily beaded fringes are seen quite often and add a lot of style to these pieces. This sash has over 2000 beads woven into the body and another 1200 on the fringes.
