Description

Man’s shirt. The front and the back of the shirt are made from a whole seal hide. The arms are pieced to give dark hide along the top of the arm and a lighter skin along the under side of the arm. On the upper arm, below the shoulder, is a skin fringe and ochre band. The band does not extend all the way under the arm pit. At the bottom of the shirt is a band of caribou skin, a red ochre line, and a fringe of skin. The neckline is finished with skin and long skin tags.
