20TH C. NATIVE AMERICAN SIOUX
20TH C. NATIVE AMERICAN SIOUX PORCUPINE FUR HAIR ROACHNative American, Midwest to Eastern United States, Eastern Plains Tribes, Sioux, ca. late to mid-20th century CE. A fine hair roach, an iconic adornment of Native American plains and eastern tribes, made from a knit or woven wool yarn base with porcupine guard hairs, and a finer deer fur dyed red. The yellow yarn is tightly knit to create a base for anchoring the porcupine by looping and knotting through the periphery, followed by the deer fur. Cotton cords tied to the piece would secure the roach to the wearer's head. Roaches were worn by many tribes east of the Rocky Mountains in combat and ceremonial dances by men as status symbols; the red symbolized combat or veteran status. Roaches are still worn today in dancing events and pow wows. Size: 14" L x 5" W (35.6 cm x 12.7 cm); 14" H (35.6 cm) on included custom stand.
