- Description
- A man's buckskin shirt cut from a single piece of buckskin and laced at the sides, edged head cutout and fitted sleeves. The laces draw through from the front to the back and then hang down, becoming part of the fringe, bottom edges are pinked. Other parts, beadwork strips on arms, have fringes hanging from them. Two white beadwork bands are sewn to the shirt coming up the chest, across the shoulders and going down the back, and two like bands running the length of the arms. The beadwork is principally white with brass bead diamonds and triangles surrounded by burgundy and blue outlines.
