Osage Art Flip Book: This book introduces the reader to Osage motifs, color symbolism, leather work, woodwork, beadwork, yarn work, and ribbon work. In addition, the book introduces contemporary Osage artist Kilan Jacobs, in order to personalize the subject, and show that art continues to thrive among the Osages.
Moccasins: These demonstrate the arts of leatherworking and beading.
Yarnwork Segment: This item demonstrates the Osage art of finger-weaving, a form of yarnwork. In ceremonial contexts, Osage men wear garters and belts made of yarnwork segments like this. Mr. Van Bighorse, Director of the Osage Cultural Center, made this item. This streamer was intentionally left incomplete, to demonstrate an in-progress piece of yarnwork.
Hide: Pieces of tanned deer hide and buffalo (bison) exemplify raw materials used in leatherwork.
Fur: Coyote, otter, and raccoon fur, like those included in the trunk, were used to make clothing and other items.
