This sash is part of a collection put together by English Hobbyist Raymond Wilkes. The collection combines English, European or North American-made hobbyist material, some objects made by Wilkes himself, and some Native American-made objects. The sash is thought to be Native American-made, probably Ojibwa or Menominee, c. 1885. [JMC 20/2/2019]
