| Description : | This artifice is a section of beaded trim used for decoration on an Inuit silapaaq. Glass beads of varying shades of green, red, blue, orange, yellow, and purple have been used to construct a floral pattern which has been stitched on to a long black melton wool rectangle. The decorated black wool panel has a red cotton binding held in place with black thread. |
| Commentaires : | Traditional Labrador Inuit dress, like the clothing of Inuit peoples in other northern regions, consisted primarily of caribou and seal skins. This clothing offered great protection against the elements of their northern climate. By the 18th century Inuit clothing was beginning to be influenced by their contact with European missionaries, traders, whalers, and explorers. The construction and adoption of the cloth over coat known as a silapaaq was a direct result of this interaction. The silapaaq was designed to be worn over the fur clothing. This hooded garment was also known as a Cossack or amautiit in Labrador. Eventually the cloth amautiit replaced skin garments. Other European trade goods such as glass and metal also found their way into Inuit art and decoration. Silapaaq hoods were often decorated by the application of embroidery or beaded trims. |
| Fonctions : | This trim was part of the decoration on a silapaaq that was given to Mary Andersen by Amalia Jararuse. Amalia Jararuse was one of the many individuals who were relocated from Hebron to Makkovik as part of the Governments closing of various Labrador towns in the late 1950's and early 1960's. |
