This is a fabulous mid-to-third-quarter 19th Century beaded warrior hair extensions from the Crow of Montana, ex-St. Paul, Minn. Museum collection. These hair ornaments or extensions were worn by warrior men, attached to the forehead and worn over their head and down their neck and back. This example exhibits an Indian tanned hide browband section with petit 19th Century early glass trade seed beads in a geometric pattern sewn with sinew with colors of greasy white and cobalt. Below beadwork are hand cut fringes with a deep red ocher / ochre dye paint. There are ten thick bundles of horse tail or human hair strands with daubs of pine tree pitch in alternating bands running down the separate locks colored with vermillion to give the red coloring and possibly a white clay.

Size Aprox 23” OAH

Circa: 3rd Qtr 19th Century
