Old-time Plains Quivers
« on: November 23, 2013, 10:13:19 am »
Well, nobody was up at 4:30 this morning to drink coffee with me. We got a good layer of ice in North Texas last night, so I got a fire going in the fire place. Now, three hours later, I thought I might post some things for the group to look at. These are originals from various collections. Most of them are Lakota, Cheyenne, Kiowa, Arapaho, or Comanche.
   Here are a few beaded ones.

This one is from Stockholm, and like the first one, is Lakota.

I think this one is from the Montana Historical Society. I don't have a tribal ID for it though.

This one is from Stuttgart. It is hair-on buffalo.

Here are a couple of Southern Plains cowhide quivers. Both of these are the 1860's. The first one is Comanche and was collected at Paint Creek, Texas. The second was collected at the Washita, and is very likely Cheyenne.

These are cowhide. The first is in Topeka, Kansas and the second one is in Berlin. I do not have tribal ID's on these, but both appear to be Southern Plains. My guess is that the Berlin quiver is Comanche.

Those are nice I wonder if dad would notice if a cow came in with a patch of hide missing. >:D

Yeah Jeff, I'm not sure how to do that but you can probably load them onto a flash drive. That way you can have a permanent copy. That is what I have done. Most of these are not my photos, but are photos I've saved from various places.

I though I would post a few lion hide quivers from various tribes this morning. The first  two are Comanche. The quiver in top photo has most of the hair eaten off by bugs, but it is still a classic Southern Plains lion hide quiver. The bottom photo, though labeled Comanche, could also be Kiowa.

And a couple of otter hide. Both of these are Nez Perce.
