Red beads border the white, glass-beaded leather of this vest. At the shoulders, blue deer silhouettes face inward. Below, two figures in feathered headdresses ride toward the center: one in green on a red horse and another in red on a blue horse. Beaded cords with feathers dangle from the opening above long, tan leather fringe. A glimpse of patterned green cotton lining is visible at the neck.
