medicine shields (shields (armor), <armor by form>, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Shields made by Plains Native North Americans, especially in Lakota, Comanche, and Crow (Apsáalooke) communities. Commonly made of animal hide and decorated with painted religious iconography. Feathers, fur, and body parts of animals were also often sewn into the shield, relating to different spiritual practices and one's own personal identity. |
