Targe

I made my first targe from Black Bear and I learned a little while doing it. Its the black one on the bottom. I want to re-do the front as the design was un-planned and well... I think I can do better.  The second Targe is Deer hide with a celtic cross, and I like the way this one came out.  I will be making another one out of a raccoon pelt.

very nice

show us the backs please

I have looked in several places to see if the Lamonts have any records of a Clan or Clan chief targe but have found no records. I found at one point a guys who has copied several old targes from a museum that has some old clan targes but he had never seen one for Lamont's

Sweet work! I like the bear one, but the knot work on the deer is awesome.

Has something changed on here?   I don't find any links to JPGs.  I have found names of files, but they aren't links, and people talk about seeing them.

I see them now - must be the photos weren't "there" when I tried looking before.
