Inspirational recreation of a Lakota warrior bone hair pipe breastplate based on my knowledge of a wide range of Lakota style breastplates. Comrises hand selected genuine bone hairpipes, early style brass beads, red Padre beads, rawhide shield stained with natural pigments and ornamented with brass tacks and a silk ribbon.
The breastplate is strung on deer leather thongs. Attached at the bottom are antique hawk bells and a decorated bronze ring.
The breastplate is given an overall aged appearance to look old.
Original one-of-a-kind item made by a non-Native American artist in the genuine spirit of a piece that could have been crafted in the latter quarter of the 19th century and the early reservation period, in a style worn by the Lakota.
