For your consideration is a Plains Indian style Fur Wrapped Feathered Coup Stick from Black Arrow Native American Art, Arizona, circa late 1900s to early 2000s. On the Plains, the feat of counting coup on enemies was an achievement that allowed warriors to gain different levels of prestige and status through acts of bravery. Counting coup could be done by touching (or, more likely) striking an enemy with a coup stick, club, bow, or hand; touching an enemy’s defensive structure; or stealing an enemy’s weapons or his horses tied up in camp. Indian warriors believed it more brave to strike an enemy with a stick as humiliation rather than kill. The piece is made in traditional Indian Wars Coup Staff pattern and displays wonderfully. Coyote fur wraps the upper, middle and lower tip sections of the coup stick along with leather wraps, leather fringe and dangling feathers with black and gold trade beads securing the feathers. The coup stick is in very nice condition, measures 8"W x 54"L.*
