The lot features an attractive Cheyenne man’s beaded and painted shirt dating to the mid-1900’s. The shirt is comprised of Indian tanned hide with painted or dyed typical coloring showing a blue upper half and arms with yellow midsection separated by a red band. There are beaded strips in typical men’s shirt fashion, that extend over the chest and shoulders down the back and down the whole arm in a classic geometric pattern done with glass trade seed beads. The front also shows a hide chest bib with beadwork as well and fringes. The shirt also exhibits old stroud cloth around the neck, fringe cut on the arms and bottom as well as traditional drops of hair in hand-rolled tin cones framing the beaded strips. The piece displays wonderfully and is a great reservation era example. Provenance: From a Mid-West Native American collection, said to have been purchased at an artifact show in the 1990’s. The shirt also has a display stand which can be sent along upon request. Measures 64-inches wide from cuff to cuff and 36-inches high from the back of the neck to the bottom of the shirt.
