Indian Quillwork

Before European beads became available, Sioux women used the porcupine quill to create original designs that she received through her dreams. They say that the quilling art was brought to a Sioux woman in a dream. She then taught others the beautiful art.

We have happened upon an absolutely stunning Sioux Ghost Dance regalia the we are proud to present for your consideration. This dance outfit is a recently used ensemble with the main feature being the exceptionally fine quillwork...something that is totally rare in this day and age.

Included in this complete set is a soft buckskin dance shirt, buckskin leggings, moccasins, the red tradecloth breech-cloth and a belt with a brass buckle.

The regalia currently is on display at River Trading Post, Santa Fe.
