Single Quill Bracelet
Artist: Red Cloud Family from the Pine Ridge Reservation
These bracelets have been hand-made with porcupine quills and leather. They measure 7.25 inches with the option to adjust the leather straps.
Pieces of quillwork dated over 200 years old have been found in the Plains area. The introduction of beads in the early 1800s supplemented and tended to replace quills. The quill of a porcupine is a round, hollow tube which has a barbed point at one end. Quills were used both for trade and for decorative purposes.
