This is an early and rare, original, Montana Crow, Native American Indian porcupine hair roach, dating to early 1900. The piece is crafted from porcupine hair, which has the tips dyed with orange and yellow ocher mineral pigment paint, along with the base being made of wound porcupine quillwork. These headdress war bonnet roaches would have been worn across the top of the warrior’s head for battle or a special ceremony. This example displays very well and shows good overall condition. The piece also comes with the Indian tanned hide tie strap and shows some trade thread at the back. Measures 24” L overall with tie straps (without tie straps the piece measures 13.5” L).
