A wonderful example of Athabaskan Snowshoes with only minor damage. These snowshoes are in good condition for their age - a few breaks in the weaving, and a break in the frame on the tip of one (photos show). Snowshoes of this era were usually fitted with a lamp wick material as a binding that was laced/wrapped around the users foot, ankle and lower leg, however - there are no binding cloths on these. The arc at the nose-tip of the snowshoes is very impressive. The rise of the frame - and the tightness of the weaving are beautiful.
