Here is a link to a drawing of an actual shield from Fort Larned in Kansas.
http://www.washburn.edu/cas/art/cyoho/bshield/BShield.html

I find the drawing to be attractive and visually interesting. The fact that there is a "scalp of human hair" on the original artifact is a bit disturbing to me. A simulated scalping at a re-enactment of a battle is one thing, an actual scalp is another! Okay so I am a bit sqeamish.
