Pair of traditional snowshoes, made by the Inuit of Canada using ancestral techniques. Steam-bent birch wood frame and braiding made entirely of caribou tendons — original materials, no synthetic fibers. Elongated shape with tapered tail, typical of snowshoes intended for long walks on packed snow and for carrying loads.
Imposing dimensions: 110 cm long x 40 cm wide. Weight: 810 g per racket (1.62 kg per pair).
Used condition consistent with age: tendons partially reconnected and repaired on one of the two rackets, natural wear of the wood and homogeneous patina. The whole remains solid and presents very well. Perfect decorative piece for interior chalet, refuge, brasserie, mountain restaurant or ethnographic/primitive arts collection.
