- Lot Description
North America, United States, ca. mid to late 20th century CE. A frontier man’s attire; a simple cloth shirt tunic with stitched on tassels, strung clay and plastic beads, and shells, with various attached satchels that contain other items. It appears that this shirt is referencing the traditional Native American practice of medicine bags, pouches that hold sacred or ritualistic items. Many medicine bags contain items that were not meant for public display, and that seems to be why the attached satchels do not have openings and completely cover the wrapped item. One cloth pocket contains a large shell - one near the shoulder has broken mirror fragments, another has a sheep horn. The backside has mountain goat horns and sheep horns. A large square of furry hide with small legs and a tail, perhaps depicting a rodent, rests below the neck - perhaps a collection of hunted or scavenged parts. This collection of items looks like an homage to the mountain men or medicine healers of old and is certainly a curious piece of clothing. Size: 32.5" L x 26" W (82.6 cm x 66 cm)
Provenance: Ex-Phoenicia Holyland Antiquities, New York, New York, USA
