Muff

French

Not on view

Muffs, a popular accessory for women, and once for men, covered the hands, keeping them warm during the winter months as well as enhanced an ensemble. The muff featured here is a beautiful example of feather work, for each feather is applied to a natural hemp base. The curving of the feathers around the round shape produce a strong sense of motion, creating a stunning accessory for the viewer.
