38" Victory Headdress by Russ Kruse - RK030-11

This Victory Headdress is of a plains-style construction. Worn by Sioux, Crow, Cheyenne, Blackfoot, Assinniboine and Plains Cree. It reflects the Lazy Stitch Bead Work in the Brow Band depicting Mountains with Bear Claws.

Measuring in at 38"L x 18"W x 21"D (50"L with horse hair trails), this piece is stunning in both size and craftsmanship. Each feather is carefully painted to represent Mature Eagle Feathers, and each bead is painstakingly stitched into a durable leather base to provide a lifetime of displayed beauty. Other features include Ermine and Abalone shell. The style of this Victory Headdress is unique and eye catching. Victory Headdress is Available Without or With Wall Mount Stand -- Make Selection.

At a young age Russ Kruse discovered his passion for creating reproductions of Native American artifacts. His channeled expertise in flint knapping, carving, beadwork, painting feathers, leather work, scrimshaw, and relief-carving have allowed Russ to make a multitude of masterfully-crafted, unique art pieces.  

“My compulsion to create accurate, detailed, museum-quality depictions of the spirit of the art, all made by hand with natural materials, manifests itself in the variety of these unique works.”
