• 19TH C. NATIVE AMERICAN BEAVER TOP HAT
  19TH C. NATIVE AMERICAN BEAVER TOP HAT W/ FREEMASONRYNative American, Western United States, Plains Tribes, likely Comanche or Lakota (Sioux), ca. mid to late 19th century CE. This is a fascinating piece of Native American formal wear that combines European fashion with decorative elements added by the wearer. The hat is made from beaver fur with a silk interior - manufactured in Europe with a lion and gold emblem over "Deutsche Mode" (German Fashion). The exterior is adorned with a pink silk ribbon trim and silk yellow tassel on the crown. At the front is a 87.9% silver Masonic order pendant with a square, compass, and a crescent moon in the center. A 88.8% silver brooch, with a rectangular face is pined to the side and suspended from the brooch is a USA half dime minted in 1853, pierced and strung on a cotton cord. A black feather is tucked behind the brooch, completing the handsome hat. Size of hat: 11.125" L x 9" W x 7" H (28.3 cm x 22.9 cm x 17.8 cm); interior brim opening: 7.75" L x 6.75" W (19.7 cm x 17.1 cm); silver quality: 87.9% to 88.8% Lakota tribal leaders visiting Washington DC to discuss peace treaties were presented with European style clothing and hats from politicians, such as this top hat. The hats were considered too plain and so they were adorned with pieces to represent Native American culture to symbolize identity and leadership. Freemasonry expanded into the western parts of the United States in the mid 19th century and established grand lodges and subordinate lodges, which were powerful groups during pre-statehood periods. Due to the forcible relocation of many tribes to "Indian Territories," Native Americans were the majority memberships in the Masonic lodges in western states such as Oklahoma, and prominent Native Americans were even elected as Grand Masters and created their own Masonic lodges.

Obverse of one tooth with a portrait of the Iris, identified in a banner above and with an "Australian Station" banner below.

A leafy vine encircles the tips of both teeth. Warm patina. Dimensions: Lengths 7". Include wooden stands. Provenance: Reference:A matched pair with similar subject matter, including the ship portrait, coat of arms and flower, is illustrated in Scrimshaw and Scrimshanders, Whales and Whalemen, by E. Norman Flayderman (New Milford, Ct.: N. Flayderman & Co., Inc., 1972), p. 10. Flayderman writes the pair were carved by a sailor aboard the Iris and were from the collection of Wing Commander Guy Marsland. While the illustrated pair is inferior in quality to the teeth seen here, both pairs are almost certainly by the same hand.Notes:The Iris, a 26-gun frigate, was built around 1840. She served with the West African Squadron suppressing the slave trade and with the East Indies Station in Borneo before becoming the first flagship of the Australian Squadron in 1859. In 1864 she was modified to work with the famous ship Great Republic in laying cable. She was decommissioned and sold in 1869.
