Notes

Buckskin and Buffalo: The Artistry of the Plains Indians is an illustrated survey of the material culture and artistic traditions of the Plains peoples, focusing on the expressive power of their craftsmanship. The book presents a wide range of objects, including parfleches, women’s dresses, shields, decorated buffalo robes, children’s garments, and men’s ceremonial shirts. 

The objects are reproduced in clear, carefully composed photographs that emphasize materials, and surface decoration. These images are accompanied by informed and accessible commentary by Colin F. Taylor, a respected authority on Plains culture.
