This is an absolutely stunning, large 19th-century parlfeche polychrome painted war bonnet case from the Northern Plains. The piece exhibits an unusually large size and shows parfleche rawhide hide that is Indian tanned hide sewn and is covered in beautiful polychrome mineral pigment painted geometric designs on both sides as well as the lid and bottom. The appears to be from the Apsaalooke / Apsáalooke Crow. The lid, bottom and side have long Indian tanned hide fringes that truly set the piece apart. The artwork shows colors of red, green, blue, yellow, with black outline and has a very unique and finely painted diamond grid on both sides, shown more prominently on the reverse. This is quite possibly one of the best 1800's era war bonnet cases offered for public sale. The piece is well preserved with rich coloring and no major damages or loss. Measures overall as displayed 63-inches long, the case without fringes is 21-inches long by 7.5-inches wide by 6-inches deep. Of the other examples previously offered, this appears to be one of, if not the largest and would have held and impressive feathered headdress or war bonnet.
