The Council Pillow shows an image printed on leather. The scene is of 3 Braves on their ponies, silhouetted against a high plains backdrop and sky of western Montana and the Dakotas. This image was photographed by renowned naturalist/photographer Edward Curtis. Curtis traveled the American West in the late 1800s and photographed Native American Indians who posed for him in their natural habitat and clothing. Curtis was instrumental in documenting the lifestyle of American Indians with his photographic story telling. Without his enormous contribution, giving us and future generations a glimpse into the everyday life of Native Americans, we would have no way of seeing how native inhabitants lived before America was settled. The pillow is made of supple cowhide with 3 inch fringe. Antiqued nickel silver studs and lacing frame the image. Back is faux suede.
