dark brown deerskin, possibly walnut dyed(?); red and green silk binding ribbon; possibly porcupine quills(?); moosehair; metal cones

The leggings are made with dark brown deerskin that has possibly been walnut dyed(?). In form, they have a flap along the side seam that ends in a rounded tab above the ankle. The edges of the top, ankle, and back-side flap are bound with red silk ribbon, and the edge of the front-side flap is bound with green silk ribbon. A band of moosehair embroidery is applied around the ankle. Along the front-side flap of each legging is possibly quillwork or moosehair applied in zigzag band, a panel of moosehair embroidery, and a fringe of metal cones with dyed moosehair. There are slits made on the sides of leggings where the garter comes through. The garters are made of dark brown, possibly walnut dyed(?) deerskin formed with a pointed end, embroidered with moosehair and bound with red silk ribbon.
