This is a Crow Native American Indian beaded scout outfit from the reservation period of circa 1890-1910's. The outfit is made from tanned buckskin and features wonderful beaded floral designs throughout with a beaded fringe on the bottom of the shirt. The beadwork is done in glass seed trade beads in colors such as Light Blue, Yellow, Red, White, Transparent Green, and Orange. The outfit is marked on the inside "1809" on both the pants and shirt and is presumed to be an inventory number from a museum or collection. The Crow Indian scout outfit is in good condition. The piece came from a private Billings, Montana important historical Native American artifact collection. The shirt measures 47 1/4" wide from the tip of each sleeve, 17" across the chest - underneath each armpit, 26 1/2" tall from the neck line to the waist, and 18 1/4" from the shoulder seam to the wrist cuff. The pants measure 37" tall overall, with a 24" inseam, and 16 1/4" wide across the waist. The ensemble is approximately between a men's small, and a men's medium.
