Description
Fur coat with a red calico lining. Brown and white furs are rectangular and sewn directly onto the lining with added hide strips along the edges of the frontal opening. These hide strips are decorated with dyed porcupine quills arranged in thin, diagonal lines. Quills are dyed red, purple, blue, and white. The opening edge is framed with a vertical line of white quills and then trimmed with blue cloth. Metal buttons are attached on the left side of the opening to be received by hide loops on the right side. The collar is lined with fur on the interior and red calico cloth on the exterior.
