Antique buckskin Ghost Dance shirt, circa 1900-1920
Notes from the Kansas City Museum's informal evaluation of this item:
Judging from the photos, it does appear to be a Ghost Dance shirt with characteristics of Northern Plains, probably early 20th century circa 1900-1920. It does appear to be a bit more decorated than what is typical for the tourist trade. The Ghost Dance is sweaty. There will most likely be perspiration stains and/or stiffening of the leather in various places (particularly the armpits) if it was actually used in ceremony.
size: 56 x 30 in.
Provenance: Property from a home in Prairie Village, Kansas
