Northern Plains War Shirt
Front view             Close-up            Quillwork detail

This beautiful shirt is based on the style of shirt predominantly worn by senior members in most of the northwestern plains tribes. It is constructed of high quality buckskin, sueded on both sides just like the brain-tan buckskin originally used by tribes for garments. The body of the shirt is painted blue on the upper half to represent the sky and yellow on the lower half to represent earth. It is highly decorated over the shoulders and down the arms with real human hair locks and bands of genuine porcupine quillwork. It also features a hand-beaded yoke or neck flap. A superb reproduction. Size is roughly adult medium.
