Hand Crafted from Hide with Glass Seed Beads in a Geometric Design Broom Cover

In Very Good Condition

Antique Inuit Eskimo Hide Hand Broom Cover is a traditional or early 20th-century artifact from Inuit (often referred to historically as Eskimo) communities, likely from Alaska or Arctic regions.
This item is a decorative or protective cover made from animal hide (such as seal, caribou, or similar furred skin), often featuring beadwork. It slips over or encases the handle of a small hand broom—typically a simple whisk-style broom made from natural fibers like grass, straw, or plant materials—for storage, protection, or display. These covers sometimes include beaded designs (e.g., floral or geometric patterns in colors like white, orange, and green) and show signs of age and use.
