Sioux Buffalo Hide Scrapper w/ Kill Marks 1800's
The lot features a Buffalo bone hide scrapper from the Sioux Native American Indians dating to the mid-1800's. The piece shows a carved finish with spots and cuts to denote the hunt kills by the user. The piece was most likely owned by a prominent woman in the tribe and the spots and cuts represent the kills / hides she was involved with over the years. Overall, the piece shows a total of at least 77 carved spots (with possibly 10-14 more spots being worn away at the base) along with countless cuts showing in the back of the piece. At the top of the piece shows a rawhide wrapping holding a blacksmith forged rasp file scrapper which has a nice blade. The piece has a rich dark brown to yellow patina from much age and use, being stained from the sweat and blood over time. This is one of the best kill mark hide scrappers we have offered and is likely marked in a Togia Lakota language. Provenance: From a large Western Cowboy and American Indian collection in Dayton, Wyoming. This hide scrapper measures 13 1/4" long by 5 1/2" wide at the head.
