The lot features a stretched rawhide polychrome painted shield from the Plains with Buffalo rib bone handle with an early to vintage age. The shield exhibits a wetted and stretched parfleche rawhide over a bent solid wood old stripped branch frame with bark on branch wood lattice supports all tied with rawhide sinew and holding a large Great American Bison Buffalo rib bone at the center for the handle. The shield shows a polychrome painted design with upside down crescent sliver moon over six buffalo or horse track hoof symbols surrounded by a spotted design. At the bottom shows a half circle of red showing four rawhide tied drops of feathers wrapped in rawhide and painted red as well. There are a total of eight feathers tied onto the shield with wisps of horse tail hair fringes. For a similar shield with the upsidedown cresecent moon, buffalo or horse hoof marks below and a bottom framed area holding feathers see the Sioux Warrior Shield from the collection of David T. Vernon, which is in the Colter Bay Visitor Center in Grand Teton National Park. The shield measures overall 17-inches wide and 27-inches high.
