Antique Native American Roach Headdress, 19th Century Plains Indian Tribal Art

About the Item

This stunning antique 19th-century Native American roach headdress, crafted by Plains Indian artisans, is a remarkable example of traditional tribal art. Made with dyed deer hair and porcupine guard hair, this headdress is mounted on a U-shaped braided cloth, secured with leather cords. The combination of natural materials and skilled craftsmanship speaks to the rich cultural heritage of the Plains tribes, where such headdresses were worn during ceremonies and important events. The headdress is accompanied by a custom display stand, allowing it to be showcased as a striking work of art. When displayed on the stand, the dimensions of the headdress are 18 ¾ inches in height, 11 inches in depth, and 4 ½ inches in width. Without the stand, the headdress measures approximately 14 ½ inches in height, 3 inches in depth, and 8 ½ inches in width. This rare and beautiful piece is a testament to the artistry of Plains Indian cultures and a valuable addition to any collection of Native American antiques.
