Two (2) sets of leg shakers (2 to a set) with turtle shells attached to each. Made by Kathie McCoy (EBCI) in 1994. "These are leg shakers that are made of turtles attached to leather and are tied around the legs. They were worn only by the women dancers in certain dances and never revealed to be seen. These were traditional ornaments used by the Cherokees. This was knowledge given to me by Walker Calhoun." - Kathie McCoy (EBCI) |
