content: Woman's buckskin dress. Dress consists of three basic buckskin pieces: one skin forms the front and another the back. Both are sewn together up the sides and an additional cape/yoke piece that covers the shoulders and upper arms is attached at the top. Additional pieced buckskin additions at sides/bottom. Sinew sewn. Lane-stitch beadwork in blue and green seed beads outlining neck and extending along the shoulder line to arm openings. Five undulating rows of lane-stitch beadwork in alternating red and blues seed beads along yoke. Red cylindrical beaded fringes attached under yoke beadwork, and decorative thongs attached below. Cut fringe on sides and bottom and on arm openings. Some red pigment on inside of dress.

content: Per Dr. William T. Billeck, the cylindrical beads on the fringes are Czech. They are drawn and many of these have a paint or color of some material added to the inside of the perforation that often is peeling away.
