The corners of each rattle show a trade cotton fringe which held Eagle or Hawk birds of prey feathers which were disposed of in order to follow all appropriate laws. The rattles have a nice sound with small stones inside.

The gripping area is wrapped in thick Bison Buffalo parfleche rawhide leather over a stripped wood stick handle and at the bottom the Buffalo Bison tail end showing long fur attached. Provenance: From the renowned Sundog Fine Art Bozeman, Montana collection and acquired by Bruce VanLandingham. Bruce VanLandingham was a pillar in the American Indian collecting community and a respected expert. Along with being an avid collector Bruce also was the sole owner of Sundog Fine Art Gallery in Bozeman which was both part museum and gallery. The lot contains two of the rattles. One measures 14"L (including bottom hair trailer) by approx. 3"W. The other measures 14.5"L(also with bottom hair) by 3.25"W.
