Artist Comments

This Comanche man is wearing a personal headdress, as opposed to a society of tribal headdress. Personal headdresses were usually made in accordance with a vision or dream, and are not regulated by the restrictions found with other headdresses. This headdress is made of crane feathers that have been dyed red. Cranes are respected because they are fiercely protective. The red color is sacred to all Plains tribes.

 

This warrior wears his hair loose, which was common with Comanche men. He wears a military sack coat, with a civilian vest and cloth shirt. His leggings are blue-stroud wool with ribbon binding, but they are mostly concealed by his red stroud wool wearing blanket. His moccasins are undecorated, and he wears no jewelry, but a quirt hangs at his wrist. He carries a Henry rifle with brass tacks on the stock, and a commercially tanned quiver is slung across his back. Free shipping in the contiguous United States.
