A color photograph in landscape orientation. The photo is an object documentation of James Luna’s piece titled “High Tech War Shirt”. The shirt is viewed on a black background with its sleeves outstretched at its side. The piece is fabricated from smoked hide and is adorned with a range of symbolic decorative elements including horse hair hung by metal across the front of the shirt, resembling a fringe like effect and three patches of native designs on each of the shirt’s sleeves. Along with the shirt is a necklace whose strings are covered with multi-colored beads and has a center piece made from a large shell encasing a plastic sunbeam thermometer with a red hand. The thermometer has 5 small toys dangling from its rim. Both the necklace and shirt are hub by a thin piece of wire at the top.
