content: Harry M. Trowbridge

content: Craig Mound

content: Original Catalog Number: 2741 Raw Material 2: Alibates Agatized Dolomite Raw Material Source: Texas Luster: Waxy Shape/Form: Irregular Base: Straight Edge Modification: Fine thinning and secondary bifacial retouch. Manufacturing Notes: Extremely well made. There are 2 extant projections at the distal end, one in the middle, and one on one end, presumably there was a third on the other corner, but this has broken off. 2 lg ears protrude midway down and below these are 2 pairs of short downward pointing barbs. Residue: Red ocher smeared about on both faces. Use Trace: Ocher marks it for some sort of ritual or special use (but could always be war). All in all its not much battered. Dorsal ridges are polished, but this could be partially a function of handling (grease). Comments: Massive size and excellent workmanship. Although the raw material is of excellent quality, there are some grainier duller spots neat the tip. The stone is subtly banded in gray, red and yellowish brown. On one face a red vein runs naturally along the axis.

content: Taime shield E165233-0 and headdress (Tsenbo) E165233A-0. Shield: Rawhide disk with two hide covers, pierced hide and horsehair pendants, brass bell and knitted yarn strap at back. Inner cover: Red around right perimeter, blue around left, painted yellow below red, blue and yellow geometric pattern across center, red Maltese cross at top, cow with blue forequarters at left. Side edges covered by red stroud cloth band with metal cones attached. Outer cover: Red and yellow lines across center, remaining designs obscured by stains. Headdress: Two curved sections of cow horn set in rectangular hide covering painted blue and yellow, edged with beads and hung with twisted hide thongs with remnants of feathers at ends. 17" (43 cm). See 229838-229839 for a model of this shield. See Photographs section, inventory nos. 06260100 and 06260200 for pictures of White Horse carrying this shield. Records: The shield proper is made of rawhide from the neck of a buffalo bull. The inside cover is made of deerskin, ornamented with paintings of a cow-bull. The outside cover is of buckskin. In the center of this cover is a Maltese cross representing the morning star. Below are lines and colorings symbolic of the elements and the sunlight. Around the circumference is a fringe of red cloth with metal pendants and a pendant of cow's tail from the inside. The headdress, which was detached from the shield and fastened upon the head of the owner upon going into battle, consists of a pair of horns made from the horns of a cow-bull, to which are attached several feathers and the wing of a hawk. This shield was obtained from White Horse, one of the most notorious raiders in the tribe. The shield is perhaps thirty years old and contains two bullet holes, one received in a fight with the Navahoes, the other received in a fight with the Texans.
