content: From card: "This has a cape-like beaded yoke; beading is done in the "lazy stitch" and contains both geometric designs and figures of men [wearing feather headdresses] on horseback. The sides, bottom, and sleeves are fringed. There are two rows of buckskin thongs attached to the center and to the bottom of the skirt, the thongs carrying seeds and beads."

content: George Levi, Max Bear, David Ramos, Joyce Twins, and Rebecca Risenhoover (Arapaho) of the Cheyenne delegation from the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma made these comments during the Recovering Voices Community Research Visit November 3-6, 2015. The group noted that this is the first pictorial piece of Cheyenne beadwork they have seen. No one has really seen anything similar in any of their studies or visits to other museum collections. This is very unique.
