Historically accurate replica of a Sioux style feather bonnet of the Indian Wars era (c. 1870's), made by Bill and Kathy Brewer of Greenville, IL. Hand painted turkey feathers representing golden eagle feathers have cotton string wrapped red wool trade cloth "firecrackers" with dyed verdigris (blue-green) and white fluffs above. The tips of the feathers are decorated with ermine strips and yellow dyed horsehair. Sinew sewn brain-tanned buckskin cap has cluster of red dyed stripped feathers painted to represent eagle and hawk feathers on crown, surmounted by the major plume, which has been dyed yellow, with blue painted sinew on the spike. Browband is beaded with old time color seed beads and has a row of hollow brass beads along the top. On each side of the browband are appendages consisting of a string of hollow brass beads ending in a turquoise colored glass trade bead, a "tassel" of silk ribbon of various colors, two whole ermine skins with string-wrapped firecrackers at top, and six different colored silk ribbons. The bonnet is given an overall "aged" appearance.
