C. 1890. Shoshone toy teepee. Painted rawhide, cotton thread, wilow sticks, feathers. A note in the box suggests that this teepee and the other items were gifts of Chief Washakie to various Indian agents. This is possible, given the age of the teepee. Although much smaller than the example for the NMAI, the blue line along the bottom edge is similar. Size is 6.5" long with base diameter of 3.5.". Cat. No. Box 813, Benjamin Sheldon, Alice Sheldon, and Howard "Tubby" Houston Col. Courtesy American Heritage Center, Laramie, WY. |
