This is an authentic Native American war shirt, handcrafted by American Indian artists. This decorative doe skin leather warrior shirt represents a rich part of Indian history with great attention to detail, made with real deer skin leather. This decorative war shirt is designed as a rustic southwestern style wall hanging. Made with hand stitching, this is an exquisite piece with great eye appeal.
American Indian war shirts are traditionally made using natural materials and items collected during battle. Rich old style brown deer skin leather gives this shirt its rich warm look and the intricate hand bead work will add a feel of quality to any wall in your home or cabin. Heavy leather fringe adds to the rustic look of this warrior shirt made with top grain leather for beauty and high value. This is a high quality war shirt that looks awesome hanging on the wall. This shirt also includes Lakota Sioux Indian bead work and a real bone breast plate as seen in the picture.
Traditionally, war shirts were earned by warriors for for their performance and bravery in battle. Often pieces taken from the battle were used in the design. It is possible that an outstanding warrior would own several war shirts. Each shirt would be unique to the wearer and would be decorated accordingly. Horse hair or leather fringe is almost always included, representing the wind to help move the warrior swiftly.
This war shirt is a work of art and comes ready to hang with an included red wool wrapped wall hanger. Native American war shirts make perfect rustic wall decor for southwest style and western home decorating. Both Shirts Measure 66." wide, 39" tall.

The War Shirt / Shirt Wearers Shirt / Scalp Shirt / Ceremonial Shirt
The original shirt wearers earned the right to wear War Shirts through great acts of bravery and deeds that were incorporated into the designs. Over a warriors lifetime, he would probably have owned more than one shirt. Some War Shirts were also thought to possess intrinsic spiritual powers which were transferred to the wearer. Buffalo hide was too thick to use, so the maker used Elk or deerskin's. However, the ideal hides came from mountain sheep that roamed the Rocky Mountains to the Missouri River and beyond. After the shirt was made, it could be decorated in many ways. Four strips of quill work or bead-work could be attached extending over the shoulders and hanging midway down the back, the other two strips attached to the sleeves next to the shoulder strips. Neck tabs or facings on back and front of the shirt were also seen on Plains Indian-war Shirts. Some tribes used square-shapes while others used pointed tabs or other shapes. Rosettes are often found on the early shirts in the middle of the chest and back. Hair from humans or horses often extended from the quilled arm strips and down the outside of the shoulder strips. Shirts with hair have been called scalp shirts, but they were only made with hair locks. Sometimes the same areas were decorated with fringe providing the flowing motion and a luxurious richness to the shirt. A shirt could also be filled with vivid paintwork or pictograph artwork
Early shirts were painted and decorated with quill-work and bigger beads. In the last part of the 19th century, shirts became more colorful with smaller beads and more intricate designs.
