Northern Plains War Shirt
We are excited to announce that we have moved the event to Cheyenne, Wyoming this year, and that we have a great selection of Western Collectables that includes the collection of Roger Wilmot.
Outstanding early example of Northern Plains scout or physical warring shirt, with designs of upper Missouri, Blackfeet, or Sioux, circa approximately 1860's-1870's. Comprised of brain tanned deerskin, sinew sewn with wonderful fringe and parallel overlapped porcupine quillwork, with blue over yellow, indicating a high ranking society member in Lakota Society. Bear claw motif shown throughout front, back and sleeves, with wear and condition consumerate with age. Displays beautifully. Provenance: Private Wyoming collection.
