content: Illus. Fig. 19, p. 159, and identified as bottom tab leggings on p. 159 in Feder, Norman. "Bottom Tab Leggings." American Indian Tradition, Vol. 8(4): 148 - 159 (1962). The caption notes: "The entire legging is dyed a solid green. Note that the bottom tabs have been sewed on separately, and also some of the top flaps. Note the otter skin garters still attached to the legging. The fringe is human hair with purple quill wrap. Purple dyed feathers are also used in the fringe. This use of feathers in the fringe is shown by Catlin for Mandan, Oto and Omaha." It is also noted on p. 157 that this is an example of a more recent type of bottom tab legging and that these "leggings are cut with the standard modern square bottom cut and then the tabs are added on as extra pieces."
