MANY HORNS
16" x 20" - 1982
Pastel on Paper

My drawing portrays a Dakota Sioux Warrior from the period before major contact with Whites.The Warrior wears a traditional painted and fringed leather shirt decorated with dyed Porcupine quills. Before the plains tribes acquired glass beads from White traders, they developed the highly sophisticated craft of dying Porcupine quills and weaving them into intricate patterns on clothing, and other personal affects. The Warrior is also wrapped in a traditional Buffalo robe.
