Native American Headdress Porcelain Limoges Box, Medium

This medium-sized porcelain Native American headdress is offered as a tribute to the ceremonial regalia of the Plains nations. The piece is a Limoges box, fired in Limoges, France, and painted entirely by hand with care for its subject.

Honoring the Plains

Feathered headdresses carried deep meaning for many Plains peoples, worn by respected leaders and warriors and earned through deeds. This piece treats the subject as a tribute to that heritage, with the colors laid in by hand.

Where Heritage Shows

It sits naturally on a bookshelf beside histories of the American West, in a den with Southwestern textiles, or in a study with landscape paintings of the Great Plains. Collectors interested in American heritage often place it near other Western subjects, and it also suits a Thanksgiving display that honors the first peoples of the land. As the medium size of the headdress design, it gives a good balance between detail and shelf space.
