Plains Indian Horse Stick

A highly personal possession of a Plains Indian brave, it honors a faithful, hard-working (and often mortally wounded) warhorse.  Through oration and ceremony, a warrior paid tribute to his companion’s courage and strength.  This interpretation is based on the works of Joseph No Two Horns, Hunkpapa Sioux, a veteran of the Little Big Horn. Three wound marks, together with open mouth, laid back ears and widened nostrils help
exemplify the accounts of his heroic deeds. Wood, leather, brass, deer hide (mane), nails. 33” long

 $1,400
