Sahnish (Arikara) Style Headdress
Sahnish (Arikara) Style Headdress. The beadwork pipes on the drops on this bonnet represent membership by the owner in four different lodges. Only a very highly esteemed elder would be allowed this representation.
For the Arikara and other Plains Indian groups, the geometric designs of blue mountains on a war bonnet browband represent sacred geography and connection to the natural and spiritual world. The yellow colors of this bonnet's horse hair and dyed ermine fringe on the back of the crown represent exceptional strength and bravery.
The two blue outlined Eyes of the Underwater Serpent denote power not only coming from the Thunder Beings represented by the bonnet's many eagle feathers but from the opposing underworld and equally respected forces of lower nature. 30"H with Drops 26"W.
PERIOD: Contemporary
ORIGIN: Idaho, United States
