WSP-38 – Buffalo Robe Painter
Among the peoples of the Great Plains, a painted buffalo robe could be far more than simply a warm covering. Robes might be decorated with symbolic designs, personal achievements or scenes recalling important events in the life of their owner.
WSP-38 – Buffalo Robe Painter captures the creative process behind these distinctive works, portraying the artist carefully applying designs to the hide. It provides collectors with a fascinating glimpse into an aspect of Plains culture far removed from the more commonly depicted hunting and battle scenes.
Placed within a Blackfoot camp alongside warriors, families and other everyday-life figures, the painter adds colour, activity and considerable storytelling potential.
Available from The Military Workshop – a wonderfully detailed John Jenkins figure celebrating the artistic traditions of the North American Plains.
Brand: John Jenkins
