The use of buffalo hair by the North American Indians
A 1906 London anthropological study by David I. Bushnell, published by the Anthropological Institute, documenting how North American Indigenous peoples used buffalo hair in textiles and objects. The pictures show bags woven or knotted from dark bison hair, with fringed hems, diamond and zigzag patterns in pale beads or thread, and a close detail of the weave, useful to a designer seeking textured natural-fibre patterning and geometric motifs.
