Gauntlets (or gloves)

Description:	During the 19th century, the reservation system and the close proximity of many tribes increased the influence of inter-tribal artistic designs and techniques. Traditional skills in hide work, beadwork, and quillwork became sources for income for many native women. Many western style clothing items were an excellent substitute for utilizing these artistic endeavors. These commercially manufactured gloves became popular among Native Americans, but were decorated with their own style of beadwork. Floral beadwork is typical of Woodland tribes.
