content: This man's shirt is made of buckskin with beaded yoke panels and quill-wrapped hair as decoration. The entire shirt was painted with blue color on the top half and the yellow color on the bottom half. The sides and sleeves are unsewn except the forearms, creating what is called "half sleeves." These half sleeves are sewn together with thread. The open sides are tied together with buckskin strips. Three straps on each side are made to tie when wearing it. Fringes are along sleeves and the bottom edge. On the front, beaded panels are on both sleeves and also two on the chest, but on the back side, only two panels along the back. The motifs of the beadwork are composed of blue and white rectangles bordered on either side by a row of small blue triangles. Brass beads are in the center of the blue beads. The triangular beaded neck flaps, also of buckskin, are on both front and back of the shirt. Quill-wrapped human hair is tied along one side of each beaded panel. Two lengths of red dyed horse hair are at each shoulder. Red wool is wrapped around the neck opening. There is one small green tag attached on the upper side of one beaded panel. "2065." is written in black ink on this tag.
