About the Item
This exceptional 19th-century Plains Indian roach headdress is a rare and visually striking example of traditional Native American ceremonial regalia. Handcrafted by Plains artisans, the headdress is made from dyed deer hair and porcupine guard hair, skillfully mounted on a U-shaped braided cloth base and secured with original leather ties—highlighting both its cultural authenticity and intricate craftsmanship.
Roach headdresses, often worn during war dances, ceremonies, and social gatherings, held profound symbolic meaning for many Plains tribes. The use of vibrant dyed hair and porcupine quills reflects status, bravery, and spiritual significance, with each headdress uniquely representing the individual and their tribal identity.
This piece is preserved with remarkable care and is accompanied by a custom museum-style display stand, allowing it to be presented as a dramatic and sculptural work of ethnographic art.
With stand: 18 ¾" H x 11" D x 4 ½" W
Without stand: 14 ½" H x 8 ½" W x 3" D
A powerful statement piece, this antique Native American headdress is not only a testament to the cultural legacy of the Great Plains but also a highly collectible artifact for those interested in Indigenous art, historical regalia, and 19th-century American history.
