In principle, the Native Americans of the 19th century loved everything that fluttered in the wind.  He wore his hair long; his horse’s tail and mane were long; he loved hide fringes and colored ribbon; and he especially loved feathers.  Thus, the Indian warrior topped off his flowing well-groomed hair with a selection of breathtaking headdresses. 

This headdress, constructed of vibrant rooster hackles, eagle feathers, dyed horsehair, porcupine quills, and ermine skin pendants, was something of an oddity, but the beautiful fiery color and shimmering quality of its iridescent feathers must have been impressive when the bonnet was worn.

Enjoy the look of the original painting with hand embellished, painted “beads” highlighting the headband on the headdress and his sash. Incredibly detailed, textured beads are hand painted by the artist and finished with a gloss varnish. This technique gives the look and feel of actual glass seed beads. Can be added to the 40 × 40 inch print only, for an additional $750. Please contact Marianne with any questions.
