Lakota Ihoka Badger Society Buffalo Hide Headdress

Lot # 34 (Sale Order: 34 of 499)      

Offered for sale in this lot is a Lakota Sioux Native American Indian buffalo hide headdress. The Iho’ka or Badger Society was one of the Aki’cita eligible societies. Aki’cita (or Akicita) has been often translated as “soldier” or “warrior” but its more accurate implied meaning is more appropriately as “guard” or “police”. These Aki’cita Societies would act as “guards” and watch over the tribe when the tribe moved from one place to another and keep watch for enemy activity when a camp was chosen. Aki’cita also acted as “civil police” to preserve order in the camp and had the right to punish offenders of tribal codes or conduct. Warriors chosen to serve as Aki’cita also had the responsibility to maintain strict control during a Buffalo hunt. The Iho’ka (Ihoka) Badger Society were considered amongst the most extreme warriors of the Aki’cita. They were said to have been started by a man who dreamed of a badger. They often took great risks against seemingly insurmountable odds, emulating the great tenacity found in the behavior of a badger, who would not think twice about going nose to nose with a bear ten times its own size and winning the fight. The headdress shows tanned hide construction, and showcases multiple layers of dense buffalo fur. The top of the headdress utilizes two buffalo horns, and two polished trade mirrors. The mirrors adorning the headdress were said to blind their enemies while in battle. Overall, the headdress shows good condition. Originality, age, and origin of the headdress are unknown. The headdress measures 13" wide, and 27" tall. The inside circumference of the headdress measures approximately 24 1/2".

Crow Warrior Polychrome Painted Shield w/ Duck

Lot # 45 (Sale Order: 45 of 499)      

The lot features a Crow Native American Indian war shield said by the current collector to be from the previous collection of noted author Dr. Colin Taylor of England. The shield was sold to the current collector by Dr. Colin Taylor in the early 200’s. The shield shows a construction of thick Great American Bison Buffalo hide wetted and stretched over a bent wood frame. The shield measures 19.25” in diameter and appears to be in good condition. Taylor recalled that he had bought the piece in the 1960’s at Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in western North Dakota. The shield has old painted linear designs and a thick section of old Buffalo hair or fur still attached to the hide, old feathers, a single black bear claw and an old duck carcass tied on. The duck is quite dry and old, currently being in a fragile state. The piece appears to have its original shoulder strap still attached. The piece is painted in old pigment mineral dyes of blue, red, black and yellow. Other 19th Century Crow shields have been documented with bird carcasses attached, including a few shows in Taylor’s books.
The lot features a Crow Native American Indian war shield said by the current collector to be from the previous collection of noted author Dr. Colin Taylor of England. Th...moree shield was sold to the current collector by Dr. Colin Taylor in the early 200’s. The shield shows a construction of thick Great American Bison Buffalo hide wetted and stretched over a bent wood frame. The shield measures 19.25” in diameter and appears to be in good condition. Taylor recalled that he had bought the piece in the 1960’s at Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in western North Dakota. The shield has old painted linear designs and a thick section of old Buffalo hair or fur still attached to the hide, old feathers, a single black bear claw and an old duck carcass tied on. The duck is quite dry and old, currently being in a fragile state. The piece appears to have its original shoulder strap still attached. The piece is painted in old pigment mineral dyes of blue, red, black and yellow. Other 19th Century Crow shields have been documented with bird carcasses attached, including a few shows in Taylor’s books.

Cree American Indian Dag Knife & Sheath c. 1840-50

Lot # 46 (Sale Order: 46 of 499)      

This is a very rare original American Indian Dag knife and beaded sheath attributed to the Cree Native American Indians and dating to circa 1840-1850’s. This “Chief’s Grade” or “Presentation Grade” set was owned by noted collector Jim Dresslar who originally acquired it from Arnold Marcus Chernoff in the 1980’s. The piece is attributed as being from the Cree Indians with almost identical colorations and beaded floral motif examples being documented on several other Cree Dag Sheaths in the Chandler-Pohrt collection and the Warnock collection (Splendid Heritage). The dag knife is touch-marked “SORBY” and shows polished black Buffalo Great American bison buffalo horn handles secured with copper rivets being framed by walrus ivory tusk inlays. The dag knife shows an artful, tapered pewter inlay around the base of the handle pommel. The sheath is crafted from Buffalo hide and is artfully glass trade seed beaded in typical 19th Century Cree floral motifs on a light sky blue background with greasy yellow, red white hearts, chalk white, semi-transparent medium green and semi-transparent medium blue. This style of ornate dag knife is referred to as a “Chief’s Grade” or “Presentation Grade” knife as they were given to Chief’s and tribal dignitaries during trade negotiations and treaty signings. The forged iron knife shows a raised median ridge running down the center of the blade, an early weapons features also seen on gunstock war clubs and lance blades. The piece was part of the famed antique weapons collector of Arnold Marcus Chernoff. American Indian early dag knives are commonly referred to as “Beaver Paddle/ Beavertail” dag knives. This is due to the fact most dag knives were traded on the frontier along the Great Lakes region through the St. Lawrence seaway westward by early fur traders. From the Great Lakes region on westward the knives became very popular among the Northern Plains/Upper Plateau tribes such as the Cree, Metis, Blackfoot, Nez Perce, Chippewa/Ojibiwa and Shoshone. These were made to be killing weapons, this is why dag knives show a clean long double sided blade without any serration as they were for battle. Unlike other knives worn by Indian Warriors the dag knife would have been worn around the Indians neck on his chest. This is truly a very rare and early authentic set. Similar sets have sold at auction houses such as Cowan’s, Skinners and Bonhams for such prices as $75,000 at Cowan’s 4/5/2013 sale, $65,000 at Cowan’s 9/20/2013 sale, $70,725 at Skinner’s 2/6/2016 sale, $41,000 for a Sorby touch-marked plain handle dag from Brian Lebel’s Old West Show & Auction 6/23/2012 sale and $78,000 at Sotheby’s 5/6/2006 sale with the example being sold in this lot being of the same quality and rarity. The piece comes from the same collector as the Dag Knife sold by our company on 4/29/2017 for $10,200 (with premiums) that was authenticated by the Sotheby’s expert David Roche. The dag knife has been documented and photographed in the 2018 book “Rare American Indian Weapons: Tomahawks, War Clubs & Knives” by Mark Francis on page 74 and 75. The knife measures 13.5” L overall. The sheath measures 10.5” L x 3” W. The blade is touch-marked SORBY one one side. Sorby was the hallmark of John Sorby & Sons which was acquired by Lockwood Brothers Sheffield, England in 1844. Lockwood Bros. still operated out of their Arundel Street Factory but created the I&H Sorby items out of their Spital Hill Works factory. The Sorby touch-mark would be found on trade knives and dag knives which were exported to the American frontiersman and traded to the Native American Indians where they would alter the pieces to their liking.
