Sitting Bull Signed Native American Indian Cabinet-Card Portrait Photograph
About the Item
A very desirable and quite rare signed photograph/cabinet-card portrait of renowned Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux holy man Chief Sitting Bull (circa 1831-1890) - perhaps the most famed and recognizable Native American Indian chief who was known for his steadfast opposition to the intrusion of the US government into Sioux lands. Following the Battle of Little Big Horn, Sitting Bull eventually fled to Canada but he later returned to the United States. This piece may have been created for Buffalo Bill’s Wild West traveling Western show which engaged Sitting Bull for one year only (apparently Sitting Bull performed only four months in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West before returning to the Standing Rock Agency in North Dakota).
The photograph is boldly signed on the verso edge in ink, "Sitting Bull" and is encased in a protective acrylic display with the publisher's information printed on the verso. Sitting Bull's autograph is incredibly rare and massively sought-after in any form. This photo would be a great addition to any Native American Indian artifacts or photography collection.

Large Signed Native American Hopi Original Mudhead Kachina Katsina Doll on Stand
By Native American Art
Located in Studio City, CA
A wonderfully handcrafted/detailed and decorated Native American Hopi Mudhead Kachina doll. Quite an unusually large work. A striking piece overall. Hand painted with leather and possibly turquoise (necklace) accompaniment.
Hopi katsina figures, also known as kachina dolls, are figures carved, typically from cottonwood root by the Hopi people. Initially, kachina dolls were made to instruct young girls and new brides about katsinas or katsinam, the immortal beings that bring rain, control other aspects of the natural world and society, and act as messengers between humans and the spirit world. The Mudhead or Koyemsi figure is viewed as a clown/joker figure who is responsible for laughter and entertainment at Hopi dances and ceremonial events. He plays drums and games to keep his audience engaged.
The piece is signed by the artist under the base.
From an extensive collection of Native American objects and artifacts. Would be a great addition to any Native American Art...

Sterling Silver Native American Indian Motif "Note Holder" American, Circa 1880
Located in Incline Village, NV
Very rare and unusual piece, a sterling silver "note holder" fronted by an Indian Chief on the front in high relief. A bale on top provides for a necklace and hanging as a decorative piece of jewelry. Other decoration on the front includes a tomahawk and a peace pipe criss-crossed beneath the Indian. The back is plain with a decorative "repousse" floral border, and "sterling" clearly marked in the lower left (see image). It is 2 7/8" high x 2" wide resembling and in the style of a match safe; probably manufactured by Unger Bros. of Newark, New Jersey, circa 1880, but difficult to observe all of the surfaces because of the frontal "notes" in permanent place. A note holder would have been used to write down reminders and/or notations by the user; the surfaces appear to be a celluloid type material. Condition is excellent with six notes intact; a very slight "crease" to the back side; hardly noticeable (see image).
