Myrtle DeMeulles (Canadian, b.1941), Canadian Native caribou hair tuftings is a traditional Indigenous decorative technique, primarily associated with Métis and Dene women in Northern Canada. It involves stitching small bundles of dyed caribou (or moose) hair onto a backing material like tanned hide or fabric and then trimming them to create three-dimensional, sculpted designs, often of flowers or animals. Also included in this lot is a 1994 illegibly signed and numbered 1/10 photoprint, titled "Wolf and Caribou." Each is matted and framed. The largest piece is matted and framed to an approximate overall size of 24.5" x 30.5".
