| Elk Antler Quirt |
riding crop. The main handle is a select piece of elk antler brow
tine with thick strap leather braided for the whip. It should be
noted that the leather is not a normal three-strand braid but one
that is found on many of the quirts reviewed in my research.
The wrist strap is braintan elk hide, painted red with powder
paints. The beadwork is a simple design sewn with real sinew, the
traditional thread used by Native peoples, using greasy yellow,
sky blue and chalk white.
