Full description: |
A dog harness made of soft Willesden canvas, folded in half and stitched to make it double thickness. The main body of the harness is made as a single continuous loop, with a canvas strap stitched across the shoulders to keep the harness in place. A piece of lampwick is attached across the back, with a leather loop attached to one end and there probably would have been a wooden toggle attached to the other (now missing), to hold the harness firmly in place around the dog's chest. The ends of the main harness loop are attached to a metal swivel and stitched together and reinforced with leather, to which is attached a leather thong and a wooden toggle.
