This is a large tall gourd, dyed with leather dye. The rim is finished with leather and deer antlers, there are bone feathers with turquoise wrapped around the antlers. The horses are wood burned into the gourd, then dyed with various shades if ink dye. I have woodburned a horse shaman onto the shoulders of this side and have embelished the neck with a copper feather and turquoise chip. The piece is held by a whole deer antler which has red pony beads wrapped around the prongs.
