content: Identified by Deborah Harding, 7-12-2007, as having been done with the sprang technique. From card: [description that follows seems to more accurately describe E72703 rather than E72704?] "Baldric of the Iroquois Indians. Made of four worsted sashes, colors red, blue, green and gray, sewed together. The sashes are not woven but plaited in an ingenious manner. Each color, when not apparent in a figure on the surface, is concealed under the others as a warp on which the other figures are based."
