From infancy, most Indian boys were trained to be warriors. Their very lives revolved around the field of conquest, gaining the respect of their people and honors from the women. The importance of this can be seen illustrated on the very attire of a warrior who took great pride in announcing his achievements in various ways.
One of the most stunning "war records" was the painted buffalo robe. Being from the Northern Plains tribe of the Blackfoot Nation this warrior’s robe tells of several war expeditions against a long haired foe, possibly Assiniboine or Crow. Another symbol of war is one of the most deadly weapons of war-the rifle.
Indians of the Northern Plains were also known to wear symbols of war and achievement in their hair. Various bird feathers as well as a weasel or ermine skin are used as this warrior’s hair ornamentation and signify not only coups but also personal medicine.
Enjoy the look of the original painting with hand embellished, painted “beads” highlighting the blanket strip and rifle sheath. Incredibly detailed, textured beads are hand painted by the artist and finished with a gloss varnish that gives them a glass bead look. This technique gives the look and feel of actual seed beads. Can be added to the 32” x 48” and 40" x 60" inch prints only, for an additional $1,500. Please contact Marianne with any questions.
