Painted Buffalo Robe by John Barrett With a Shawn Webster Umbical Fetish

This painted robe was made by John for his sons' first Christmas.

Shawn Webster made the lizard umbilical fetish as a present. A lock of John's hair is attached with hand dyed blue silk.

Painted Sunburst Design.

The paint is crushed earth pigments fixed with hide glue.

A brain tanned buffalo calf was used for the robe.
