This is an amazing and late-19th-century Comanche Southern Plains beaded Indian hide men’s shirt from the ex-collection out of Cyrus Eaton of London, England; Jackson, Wyoming private collection and from noted author Mark Francis collection. This large example of a Comanche War Shirt or early Comanche Scout Shirt is comprised of Indian brain tanned buckskin being sinew and trade thread sewn with two long, loom-beaded strips, which extend over the chest and shoulders to the back as well as another set running down the arms, in typical war shirt fashion. The shirt is beautifully adorned with long, frilly Indian tanned buckskin hide fringes, being uniquely long shown across the chest, shoulders, under the arms, across the cuffs, along the bottom of the shirt stretching around the front and back and across the back. Some of the finest examples of fringes we have seen. The shirt shows a “V” collar at the front with Indian buckskin collar. Overall, the hide is soft and supple with a nice yellow ocher rubbed culling and some patina. The shirt dates to the late-19th-century to early-20th-century and shows nice early loom beaded war shirt strips. Provenance: From the ex-collection of Cyrus Eaton of London, England; Jackson, Wyoming private collection of Native American beadwork, many pieces of which collected from Terry Winchell of Fighting Bear Antiques; and from noted author and collector Mark Francis.
