For your consideration is this Hand Carved, Solid Wood Cigar Store Indian. Historically, these carvings would be placed outside of tobacco outlets, signifying to a passerby that the establishment sold tobacco products. This contemporary, solid wood carved Cigar Store Indian displays a dark painted Native American Warrior adorned with a full painted headdress, traditionally known as a trailer war bonnet, accent fringed leggings, breechcloth, moccasins, and breastplate. The figure is shown with his arms crossed and hair feather decoration draped across his arms. War bonnets were traditionally worn by male leaders of the tribe who have earned great respect. Originally, a full headdress would have been worn into battle, but now they are used primarily for ceremonial purposes. The piece is well preserved with a natural fissure in the right arm of the cigar store Indian and shows some light wear to the painted segments of the cigar store Indian. The Cigar Store Indian measures 70.5"H x 20"W x 16"D approximately.*
