The lot features a unique Buffalo Bison horn headdress attributed to the Blackfoot Native American Indians of the turn of the Century. This circa 1880-1920 headdress shows a Buffalo Bison hide cap with two polished horns attached with old hide lacing. The piece has old trade cloth lining on the inside, old trade beads, strips of calico trade cloth with nice coloring, beaded side rosette medallions, a beaded brow band, and the original braided trade cloth tie strap still attached. The hide has some very minor hair loss and a few spots, as would be expected, and the beadwork shows little to no bead loss, as well. The beadwork shows a nice, early Blackfoot typical design with floral rosette and stepped geometric brow band, all on a white background. There is a row of hawk bells tied onto the front rim with old hide lacing, showing a nice patina. This is a unique and rare smaller example, likely worn by a young warrior, which shows some expected wear from its early use and age. The piece comes with a custom display stand, which makes this a truly fine addition to any artifact room. From the tip of the horn to the bottom of the cloth trailer, the piece measures 38 inches in length. Please examine the piece for your own representation of condition, age, and origin.
