Circa 1860's -1870's Indian tanned buffalo robe with painted pictographs of horses. In good condition with some age commensurate paint fading. The style of horses compares strongly with Pawnee robes in several museum collections. The horses without riders with saddle blankets indicate gift horses, a status symbol among the Pawnee. This robe would have been worn by a warrior of importance. These early robes are seldom seen offered on the private market, and similar examples are at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Cody, Wyoming.
This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made.

Item Dimensions: 70"L x 66"W.
