This is an excellent Buffalo Bison bone hide scrapper with kill marks dating to circa 1850 from the Sioux Native American Indians. The piece is constructed from a large Great American Bison Buffalo bone with dark to yellow patina from honest age and use in a traditional angled pattern. The entire piece is covered in intentional carvings including a punch dot like pattern and various linear kill marks, the piece is likely signed in Lakota Togia language and is truly a fantastic piece. The piece is hand painted with a "24" in old handwritting, likely an old museum collection number. The angled top would have hold a gun barrel adze or flint scrapper that would have been secured with rawhide parfleche lacing. Provenance: From the renowned Sundog Fine Art Bozeman, Montana collection by Bruce VanLandingham. Bruce VanLandingham was a pillar in the American Indian collecting community and a respected expert. Along with being an avid collector, Bruce was also the sole owner of Sundog Fine Art Gallery in Bozeman, which was both part museum and gallery, this piece is directly from the collection. The piece is in good overall condition with honest age and patina lending to its circa 1850 age and measures 12 1/8"L by 4.5"W by 1.75"D. Museum collection number E1067.
