Description
Pueblo Buffalo Hide Shield
third quarter 19th century
concave form and painted using mineral pigments in colors of yellow, green, red, black, and white; lock of horsehair attached to front of shield; a lightly painted mountain lion and incised abstract images on verso; thick buffalo hide strap
diameter 21 inches
The ... shield depicts a violent storm in the center with lightning bolts shooting from it to the lower left and lower right. They strike the earth, while rain pours straight down between them. The funnel-shaped cloud roaring out toward the top probably represents violent winds, their force and direction indicated by the arrows crossing the yellow horizon. A hank of horsehair hangs from near the center, and two cougars are painted on the white area to either side of the storm design (Hanson 1994: 179).
