This is an excellent scarcely seen polychrome parfleche painted hide shield from the Pueblo Indians of the Southwest dating to circa 1890-1900’s. The shield is accompanied by a signed and dated latter from a previous owner stating it is an early authentic Pueblo painted shield from Zuni, New Mexico and was “obtained in trade Denver show May 2019” from the former collection of Dan Wasko Tulsa, Oklahoma. The piece shows a heavy Indian tanned parfleche rawhide, likely Buffalo / Bison, with a incredibly detailed polychrome mineral pigment painted finish showing the buffalo face in red, yellow, blue and black at the center being flanked on either side with four-pointed morning stars in red and blue. At the top and bottom show stepped triangular symbols in red and yellow with alternating red and yellow sun lines and a black outline. The entire surface shows a white coloring. The shield shows several old Indian repairs and four pierced holes along the sides which hold ties of Indian tanned hide fringe. At the top show two pierced holes which previously held fringe as well. On the back is the scrapped darker colored hide in its more natural form with hide ties holding an old trade clothe stroud handle. Pueblo shields dating to the late Indian wars to early reservation period are immensely rare with this being a truly fine example in all original condition. Measures overall 12.75”x12”.
