Louis Riel Coventry Style Doll Métis Sash

This sash is handmade on a loom using alpaca wool. Its design is a replica of the Coventry style sash which Louis Riel wore circa 1860. Coventry sashes were historically made near Coventry and Manchester in England and exported to Canada. They were sold by the Hudson’s Bay Company. Coventry sashes were the most common sashes from 1850 to the early 1900s.

Each sash is 33cm (13") long. The ends have been sewn to prevent fraying.

Listing is for 1 sash.
