Historic Replica Sashes


Picture
This sash takes inspiration from the sashes made by the ladies of Assomption, Quebec, for the fur trade. The central red arrow, and lateral lightning patterns in a specific color order, are the elements of this classic motif. This sash was made at the request of a special client.

Picture
Here are two other variations on the Assomption sash motif.

Picture
The historic record is rich with ideas for finger woven patterns, beyond the Assomption pattern.
Picture
This pattern is called the Chenier pattern, after a
Quebec medical doctor who wore such a belt.
There are also images of Huron Chiefs wearing this pattern.

Picture
This sash imitates one in the collection of the Canadian War Museum, a sash that belonged to General Isaac Brock. Some say that the original sash was given to Brock by the First Nations Chief Tecumseh.
Picture
The double arrow sash was inspired by a sash of Iroquoi design, in the collection of the McCord Museum, in Montréal.
The arrows are outlined by small white beads.
Picture
The ‘W’ motif sash has been associated with groups from the North American Plaines.
Here are two versions.
The one on the left took its inspiration from a sash in the collection at the Hermitage in St Petersburg.
The sash on the right was inspired by a sash in the collection of the Canadian History Museum in Ottawa
Picture
This sash was loosely based on a sash from the McCord Museum collection, said to have been made in the prairies.

Sashes with a Modern Twist


Sashes can also be of modern design.
Picture
These two sashes celebrate the arrow-and-lightning motif of the Assomption Sash, but feature modern color schemes.

Picture
Picture
I call this sash
‘ice blue’.
It features a multi-colored central arrow, aka ‘pike’ motif.
Picture
Picture
Created for a special client, this sash takes inspiration from an Iroquois motif, two-colored arrows.
Picture
This sash resulted from a residency at Quetico Provincial Park. I took inspiration from the park logo, and created a Quetico Sash.
