content: These leggings are described in notes from the collector as, "Assinaboine buffalo leggings, made by ... [woman] and worn on winter scouts." They are of unusual construction, with a fine buckskin panel sewn onto a heavy back of hide with the hair on, which may be cowhide rather than buffalo as described by the donor. The quilled designs on the front are similar to the honor marks painted on the legs of dancers on hide paintings E165054 and E165055. For Hidatsa leggings with similar markings, see American Museum of Natural History 50.1/6017.
