Beaded Plains Style Native American Indian War Shirt

Description: Offered here is a stunning example of a plains style Indian War shirt with beadwork. The extensive beadwork travels down each arm, with chest panels and back beaded panels as well as the beaded bib. Fringework lines the shirt, and the top half of the shirt is colored/dyed blue , with red stripibg, and striping, yellow lower half. There are white accents and dozens of hairdrops. This war shirt is one of a kind and is the actual war shirt you will receive. A large and stunning example, I think this would make for a great display in someone's "great room" or private collection. The shirt is intricately beaded, with zero bead loss whatsoever. Tightly beaded in the traditional lazy stitch, also known as lane stitch method. This is NOT loomwork beading but is the traditional method for plains beadwork. The beadwork is also extensive and elaborate. The beadwork on the arms for example measures approximately 20" inches long by 3.5". Beautiful soft and supple deer hide makes this very easy to wear should you decide to do so. The collar around the neck is also professionally done, and not by an amateur or poor craftsmanship. It is correct in both material, design, and style. A vibrant red color that almost creates a stunning contrast. The details are endless, but the photos speak for themselves. Please do not mistake this for the dozens of war shirts being offered here on ebay via Pakistan. The museum quality photos and examples they use are exactly that, photos and examples. They are not what you are bidding on or what you will receive. This is not the case with this shirt! Lastly, the age: This appears to be a contemporary piece. Currently being hung and stored properly. Priced to move, all reasonable offers considered. US sales only, no 3rd party or international sales. Sorry. Free shipping with insurance.
