Hi y'all,
Pre-production pictures of this figure have been posted by Marc many, many moons ago.
It's available at last after some refinements and additions. I hope you like it.
The American bison or ‘tatanka’ was the most important natural resource of the Plains Indians.
It provided them with all of their basic needs: food, clothing and shelter.
Among the Plains tribes, the spirit of ‘tatanka’ was often invoked in ceremonies in which the dancers mimicked the buffalo with their head dresses and their stance.
In all of them there were dancers dressed as buffalo, with great headdresses – sometimes a complete mask – of buffalo hide and horns. Often these headdresses included a strip of fur that extended all the way to the tail, worn down the dancer’s back.
Other dancers might wear a headdress and a tail, arched by sewing it over a bent stick so that it looked like the tail of a challenging buffalo bull.
The figure depicts a Mandan dancer of the Buffalo Bull society as recorded in Upper Missouri by painters Bodmer and Catlin in 1833.
