Quick Overview
This Plains Indian buckskin shirt shows the beautiful natural edge of the hide and is decorated with beaded designs to symbolize the Morning Star.
Description
The front and back of the shirt are identical - a pattern of beaded stars finished with brass spots accentuate the shoulders and chest of the shirt, and a single star is featured on the shirt bib.

The shirt bibs are placed in center of the front chest and back of the shirt. They are edged with glass and metal beads. Red dyed twisted leather fringe and dangles of red glass beads hang from the edges.

Lengths of twisted fringe also hang from the bottom edge of the sleeves and shoulder seams. Buckskin fringe hangs from the side seams and sleeve openings.

The neck opening is edged with leather stitching.

The shirt is made of commercially tanned leather. Beadwork is done using Czech glass beads. The sides of the shirt are open and the bottom of the sleeves are sewn closed.
