Boy's Shirt

1870–1900
Not on view
Returned to lender
This work of art was on loan to the museum and has since been returned to its lender.
This shirt’s complex geometry, diverse color selection, and use of factory-made red fabric inserts, which allow for greater movement, reveal this female artist's complete mastery of Crow design aesthetics and beadwork as well as access to trade networks.w
