FA11 120mm Yellow Moon - Mother and child at the Crow parade 1910 £82.50

Among the Northern Plains tribes, the pleasure of dressing in one’s finest clothes and parading was a cherished tradition which endures to this day. The annual Crow Fair created in 1904 is one such event where the Crow and their neighbours gather to exhibit their livestock and farming produce and to show off their women’s crafts and domestic skills. The Crow were the richest in horses and the best horsemen. The colourful riding gear was made by the women and included the saddle, head ornament, collar and crupper. The women’s saddle had typically high pommel and cantle ornemented by beaded pendants and was held in place by the crupper. Stirrups were also heavily decorated. The riding quirt with its carved wood handle and beaded wrist strap was a popular item and was also used as a defense weapon. The 29-part resin kit depicts Yellow Moon, a Crow mother and her child dressed up in all their finery, getting ready for the parade. She’s carrying her husband’s shield and officer’s staff, a great honour bestowed to worthy wives of prominent warriors.
