Native American Hand Made Curved Coup Stick w Otter Fur

This piece is a spectacular example of Plains Indian war objects. In this instance, the coup stick was meant for touching, not for killing. If you got away with the touch of your stick onto the enemy, your Nation would celebrate your feat of bravery.

Local Oglala Lakota artist Tim Lammers, hand made this beautiful piece from wood wrapped with otter fur, leather strips and painted with earth pigments. He finalizes the decorations with imitation eagle feathers.
