The Comanche made bows from wood called Osage orange, around 4 or 4.5 feet long and often with red-dyed tufts of horsehair at the upper tip. Arrows were of dogwood shoots, about 24 inches long and fitted with metal points and eagle or hawk feathers.

Bow-and-arrow cases were beautifully made from mountain lion (the same as puma or cougar) skin lined with red flannel and decorated with blue, white and red glass beads.

Comanche moccasins were very distinctive, often being painted yellow and having a long fringe at the side of the decorated strip along the top of the foot.

Comanche women's dresses were again often entirely or partly painted yellow and decorated with long fringe and tin cones and glass beads.

Containers of rawhide called parfleches were used to carry small items of clothing and well as food or amulets. The decoration was painted and/or embossed into the rawhide and was in typical tribal designs.
