This is likely the shirt purchased on these invoices.

Dr. Corder attached these invoices to 143/3523. I think the Thornburgh invoices are actually for this item 143/3524. Thornburgh describes the shirt as "painted and fringed somewhat". This shirt has had the Wounded Knee attribution in the catalog and on the tag associated with the item and I believe Thornburgh would have likely added "bird design" to the description had it been the other shirt.
