Centennial Celebration "1776-1876" American Flag Banner
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Presented is a rare Centennial patriotic flag banner, dating to 1876. The flag’s brilliant blue canton is spectacular, with 81 five-pointed, rayed stars, arranged to read “1776” and “1876.” The flag’s design is completed with thirteen alternating red and white stripes. The flag is a three-piece, treadle-sewn sewn construction, printed on a thin wool and cotton blend. Along the edge, there is a narrow, treadle-sewn sleeve made of cotton tape.
In the lead up to the nation’s Centennial in 1876, flag makers and individuals looked to the past for designs to produce as part of the country’s many celebrations. Popular interpretation of the stars and stripes undoubtedly reached its climax of variety and originality at the time of our Nation’s first Centennial. Since no design restrictions were placed on flagmaker’s imaginations and no strict distinctions were drawn between official and unofficial star counts, it is no surprise that, on the occasion of the Centennial, creativity in flag design was not the exception, but the rule.
The cantons from this period presented an array of geometric abstractions. Great star patterns, referred to as the “starry flower of Liberty” by Oliver Wendell Holmes, that were popular from 1818 and on, resurfaced in Centennial flags...

Antique Lakota Sioux Doctor’s Bag, 19th C Buffalo Hide with Trade Beadwork
By Native American Art
Located in Denver, CO
This antique 19th-century Lakota (Sioux) doctor’s bag is an exceptional example of Plains Indian beadwork artistry, crafted from native-tanned buffalo hide and intricately adorned with Venetian glass trade beads. The beadwork is sinew-sewn and features a vibrant mix of white-hearts, dark blue, greasy yellow, translucent blue, and faceted metal beads, all set against a bright white field for striking contrast.
Both sides of the bag are fully beaded, each showcasing unique traditional design elements such as arrow motifs, crosses, and geometric patterns, symbolizing strength, direction, and protection. The original metal clasp and handle remain intact, further enhancing its authenticity and historic value.
Though referred to as “doctor’s bags,” these pieces were not used for medical purposes. Instead, they were gifted to physicians by Native communities—particularly as tokens of gratitude for care or assistance rendered to tribal members during the late 19th century. As such, they hold both cultural and ceremonial significance.
The Lakota, one of the three major divisions of the Sioux Nation, are a nomadic Plains tribe known for their highly developed beadwork traditions. Residing in the Great Plains across present-day South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Montana, and Wyoming, the Lakota are renowned for creating deeply symbolic and intricately detailed art that reflects their spiritual beliefs, cultural identity, and connection to the land.

Bellamy Style Hand-Carved New England Pine Eagle, Early to Mid-20th Century
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
This is an original American eagle, hand-carved from pine during the early to mid 20th century. The eagle features a touch of original gilt over yellow sizing with hand-painted highlights, emphasizing the eyes and beak.
The eagle is displayed with both wings fully outstretched. The feathers are expertly detailed, especially considering that this eagle is a single-piece carving.
The eagle is both the national bird and the national animal of the United States. The founders of the United States were fond of comparing their new republic with the Roman Republic, in which eagle imagery, usually the golden eagle, was prominent. On June 20, 1782, the Continental Congress adopted the design for the Great Seal of the United States depicting a bald eagle grasping 13 arrows in its sinister (left) talon and an olive branch with its dexter (right) talons. Those arrows are tightly aligned, a symbol of "strength in unity" that's found in the traditional cultures everywhere, from the Romans to the Iroquois. In this case, the bundle of arrows were a nod to the unity of the original 13 colonies. The olive branches emphasize the power of peace.
The eagle motif has since appeared in allegorical engravings...

Framed in an old Victorian frame which has some losses due to age but is stable and gives the painting character. Overall just a fun and unique piece. Painting is unsigned. Unsure of country of origin. Additional detail photos available upon request.
