The oldest extant collars combine beadwork done in double-curve motifs with ribbon appliqu\u00e9 around the outer border of the collar. In the mid-1800s, beaded double-curve designs combined with ribbon appliqu\u00e9 work gave way to beaded floral motifs. Background fabrics were usually red or black and the collar consisted of three sections\u2014a back yoke and two front panels.<\/p>\n<p>Later collars, incorporaring double curves, floral motifs and even whirling log designs borrowed from the Navajos, were made on fabric or leather. These collars, beaded in one piece, mostly date to the early 20th century.<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"border: 1px solid transparent\">\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid transparent\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid transparent\">\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left\" align=\"center\"><strong>Penobscot Cape Collar and Cuffs, c.1860-1870<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\" align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-716 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/hudsonmuseum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/275\/2012\/12\/reg3.jpeg\" alt=\"Penobscot Cape Collar and Cuffs\" width=\"108\" height=\"159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/hudsonmuseum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/275\/2012\/12\/reg3.jpeg 108w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/hudsonmuseum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/275\/2012\/12\/reg3-95x140.jpeg 95w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 108px) 100vw, 108px\" \/>Historic photographs from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries show Peter Nicola, among others, wearing this cape collar and cuffs.

The act of enhancement seems to be a very basic part of the human experience. It is our human history. As we examine visual records of our past, we are able to locate ourselves in the present. It is important to enjoy these beaded pieces as beautiful forms as well as studying them as a significant part of our shared past. Art is the forming of a vision into material reality. When art is succesful, it feels complete in an emotional, non-intellectual way. It also becomes a bridge from one time, culture, maker to another. When examining the Maliseet amice, or belt, it is enjoyable to follow with one\u2019s eyes the design elements as they \u2018dance\u2019 along the length of the piece.<\/p>\n<table style=\"float: left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"border: 1px solid transparent\">\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid transparent\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-717 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/hudsonmuseum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/275\/2012\/12\/reg4.jpeg\" alt=\"Maliseet Epaulets\" width=\"200\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/hudsonmuseum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/275\/2012\/12\/reg4.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/hudsonmuseum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/275\/2012\/12\/reg4-105x91.jpeg 105w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,200px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border: 1px solid transparent\">\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid transparent\">\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left\" align=\"center\"><strong>Maliseet Epaulets, c.1840<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\" align=\"center\">These were generally sewn to the shoulder<br \/>\nseams of men\u2019s coats and women\u2019s jackets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\" align=\"center\">Nancy &amp; Roger Prince (NTP 46,47,48)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The color relates to an earlier Native palette of white, blue, gray instead of black and the addition of shades of red.
