The lot features a 19th Century Southern Plains bow, arrow, & quiver set attributed to the Comanche Indians of the Southern Plains in Northern Texas. The set is comprised of Indian brain-tanned buffalo / bison hide smeared with yellow mineral pigment ocher / ochre in typical Southern Plains fashion. There are beautifully beaded sections that extend on both sides and long frilly Indian hide fringes hanging down. The beadwork is done in period correct early glass trade seed beads in a classic Comanche tab design having a light blue background with colors of greasy yellow, cobalt, blue and red. The fringes have a red ocher / ochre mineral pigment coloring. The original wide Indian hide shoulder strap is still intact and has beaded cross motifs. The case shows a bow sheath with arrow quiver attached that shows some minor wear and loss from age and use but overall in very good condition. The set includes two metal tipped arrows with turkey feather fletching as well as an original old bow with the sinew string long gone. The set appears to be well kept with some possible professional preservation work done. Provenance: From a private Cincinnati, Ohio collection of Native American weapons and beadwork. Measures 40 inches long without fringes, quiver by itself is 24 inches long without fringes.
