Wapegnaki- Quilled Yellow & Red

Signed Yellow & Red Quillwork Wapegnaki

This Wapegnaki- Quilled Yellow & Red shows exceptional craftsmanship.  The crafter made it with brain-tanned leather.  Yellow and red quillwork forms the foundation of the design, while the center features a geometric pattern created with natural, green, and blue quills. Eight quilled tassels, each measuring approximately 12 inches long, hang from brain-tanned leather lacing. The artisan accented each tassel with copper cones and yellow wool fluffs, with four tassels positioned at the top and four at the bottom.

The crafter then added brown and golden horsehair drops extending approximately 11 inches below the quillwork. The quilled panel itself measures 7.75 inches long by 2 inches wide.

The reverse bears the inscription, “Many Quills & Belle ’96,” identifying the makers and dating the piece to 1996. Combining traditional Wabanaki materials and techniques with vibrant color and fine detail, this is an outstanding example of contemporary Native American quillwork art and a striking addition to any collection.
