Deerfield sash - (Sashes)
product ID
A version of a sash from the Memorial Hall Collection at Deerfield, MA. To keep the cost down this sash is 3 x 32 plus fringes, rather than the 72" w/o fringes like the original. The shorter length is in keeping with most surviving sashes from the 18th century.

Eunice and Stephen had both been captives of the 1704 raid on Deerfield, Massachusetts, but Eunice elected to remain with her Kanienkehaka (Mohawk) family at Kahnawake in Canada.
