The lot features a contemporary beaded buffalo horn headdress attributed to the style of the Cheyenne Native American Indians. The piece shows a Great American Bison Buffalo or Angora hair bonnet which holds an Indian tanned hide brow band strip having geometric triangular beaded patterns in glass trade seed beads. The beadwork has a chalk white background with red white hearts, greasy yellow, medium green colors and the war bonnet appears to be sinew and rawhide sewn. At the temples the piece shows metal hawk bells with silk trade ribbons along with red dyed strips of white fur made to imitate ermine martin hides. The piece shows two resin cast young Buffalo horns surrounded by metal hawk bells and held together at the tips with wound glass red trade beads adorned with sinew tied white horsehair fringe. The top of the bonnet shows plums or drops of feathers. The long runner or trailer on the headdress is constructed of old red trade clothe with a light cream border showing brass hawk bells, drops of feathers, and yellow dyed feathers, many trade bells are sewn on. Inside the bonnet shows a painted polychrome finish with repairs using old like parfleche envelopes. The piece is handmade using all early old trade material in an early old style but with an unknown possibly contemporary age in the style of the Cheyenne American Indian. Measures overall 38”L by about 18”W from the outside of the horns.
