Status Symbols - Native American Warrior By Howard Terpning

Status Symbols - Native American Indians by Howard Terpning

What the plains warrior wore or carried often told much about his life. Here a Crow, haughty in his status, has wrapped himself in a buffalo robe painted with the scenes of his triumphs on the hunt and in warfare. His lance is decorated with feathers. Many men adorned lances, war shields, or even their horses' bridles with scalps taken from their enemies. The shield here carries the warrior's depiction of a buffalo. Almost certainly it is made from the thickest part of a buffalo bull's hide, stretched across a hoop and braces made of willow or other pliable woods and stuffed out with buffalo hair or other materials which will give it strength. (From the book The Art of Howard Terpning - Elmer Kelton).

The figures and horses painted on the bison hide belonging to this Plains Indian tell the story of his war exploits to everyone who sees them. His war shield has powerful medicine and is a symbol of his belief in the power of his medicine. The lance is a weapon with which he is proud to pose.
