Description
This is a restored copy of an antque chromolithograph with bright yellow background of a Native American Indian First Nations aboriginal boy wearing a Native American pagan black and white hand made feathered headdress and a pair of hand made stitched Native American buckskin pants and buckskin moccasins. The feathers of the headdress appear to be American eagle feathers which were regarded by many Native Americans as having magical spiritual powers.
This cute energetic little indigenous native boy carries a traditonal hand made Native American Indian stone hammer in his left hand. This image comes from a postcard postmarked 1909, Portland, Maine in our antique postcard collection.
Buckskin clothing is usually made from buckskin, a supple suede leather derived from deer hide. Buckskin is often trimmed with a fringe which helps the leather like material to dry faster if it becomes wet; long fringe also acted as a moving element to discourage biting insects such as horse flies and mosquitoes. Buckskin has long been an important popular style element of Native American, Cowboy Culture, Santa Fe, Wild West and Mountain Man couture.
