Essay/Description

Early 20th century pan-Indian pow wow breech cloth with beaded designs.

Curatorial Remarks

"Early 20th century pow wow breech cloth. This could be considered Central Oklahoma "pan-Indian". The cloth allowed for the designs to be more versatile because it is easy to sow into the cloth as opposed to hide for moccasins."

Dr. Garrick Bailey, Professor of Anthropology for The University of Tulsa, 2018
