I chose to render them as a central stitching line with tooling lines on either side. But since making this, I've seen a 19th c. Lakota rawhide quiver and now I think that's how this is made--rawhide with paint. No stitching at all.... well, perhaps up the back. Or it's the legs off a hide, which would explain the very slight protrusion at the base--it could be the knee.
Qui plus fait, miex vault.
