This strap was adapted from the strap on the screwtip horn in the book "Warriors". Roland Cadle has done a reproduction of this horn for the CLA auction in August at the annual meeting in Lexington, KY. Width and length (2" x 47")of this version is somewhat different and I chose to dye the strap a rich madder red. Woven with fine yarns like the originals and naturally dyed with madder root, by far the most common red dye in the 18th century in North America.
