Featured in this lot is a Northern Plains Native American rawhide peyote rattle. The peyote ceremony is a highly praised and sacred ritual that many tribes throughout the Northern Plains practiced. The peyote chief takes some sage, the staff, and the gourd rattle and tells the drum chief to begin. As the drum resounds, the peyote chief sings the opening song of the ceremony. This is sung four times, and when he finishes, each member in turn eats some of the peyote buttons and sings four songs. The man to the right of the singer plays the drum while the singer shakes the gourd rattle. In this manner the ritual of eating and singing progresses around the tipi clockwise. This rattle features a wooden shaft with braided rawhide dangling from the bottom. The top features a hollowed and dried gourd wrapped in rawhide and then filled with small beads or beans to make the rattle. The top features a smaller wooden blue painted shaft wrapped with rawhide, colored blue, green and red with white and black horse hair shooting out of the top. Overall this ceremonial rattle is in great condition with no signs of obvious damage. The gourd has a circumference of 7" while the rattle, including the horse hair and braided rawhide, measures 23 1/2" L.
