More About Her Husband's Shirt
Her Husband's Shirt portrays a loving and compassionate Lakota wife mending her husband's shirt. Women in Lakota tribes were renowned for their exquisite and intricate beadwork on clothing. A woman who was skilled at creating, repairing, and decorating a shirt was highly respected. These women were great Lakota artisans. Shirts were made of all natural materials--the leather, thread, beads--taken from the land around them.
