Painted buffalo hide
|
| Description | Painted buffalo hide with hair on one side and a red and blue feather design painted on the opposite side. A circle of 26 feathers at the center of the hide is encircled by two additional rings of feathers. The hide is bordered with red and blue lines accented by feather designs at intervals. The hide is sewn with sinew down the center back and, at a later date, a tan felt like material has been sewn around the edge. A leather strap for hanging is mounted at the center back. The hide was collected by Colonel John G. Clark of the 50th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment while he was stationed at Fort Rice in Dakota Territory from 1865-1866. |
