The Great Lakes have long had a reputation for making loom-woven beadwork utilizing distinctive and complex geometric patterns in a wide variety of colors. Large bandolier bags, wide sashes, and garters were worn by the men during dress occasions. The workmanship and intricacy of this pair of garters are fine examples created from the Great Lakes region.
