content: This shield was received without tribal identification from the collection of James Haworth, which includes materials from throughout the Plains region. At some point the identification Sioux was added to the record without comment. The object consists of a rawhide disk with red paint and thongs for the attachment of a strap; no additional covers were received with it.
