Description

A wooden board on which a wooden hoop is held together with sinew. Lower down, a wooden edge secured with leather forms a step for the child. A board decorated motifs cut out of the wood and with an edge secured by nails. Covered, from footboard to hoop, with a checkered fabric edged in pink cotton and lined with multicoloured canvas and white lace, all laced up at the front with leather straps.

The tikinagan provides a sense of security for the baby, as it is wrapped up and warm.
