An Early Plains Sioux Roach, With Spreader and Original Stand
This is a very rare and wonderful roach with all parts intact. The roach, made of deer hair, still has the bone spreader inside, along with two bone carved cups to hold feathers that are no longer present. The drop has quill wrapped hide strips, curly horse hair and a thimble. The wood holder / stand is original to the roach and was used to wrapped the roach around for stored. The wood stick shows fine cut marks and has a wonderful patina.
