A Southern Plains Ghost Dance shirt
Probably Arapaho, the front painted with a crescent moon with star and a buffalo on the shoulders flanking a partially beaded bib, a pair of crows below centering a turtle, a dark undulating landscape beneath that, the back with banded crescent moons and stars on a blue-green ground, the fringed sleeves further adorned with stars and a single buffalo, the seams thread sewn.
length 29 1/2in, width across the arms 65in
