- Lot Description
North America, Midwestern or Eastern, Native American, Civil War Era, ca. 1861 to 1865. A fine sewn-leather cavalry case of tubular form with a circular base and rim, a long body with a rectangular leather handle at its midsection and base, and a looped handle at the top for suspension. All painted in a hue of deep brown, the fine case is adorned with a wavy edge on the leather at its base and a trapezoidal brass badge resembling a coat of arms with a raised circle encased by a shield and surrounded by a phytomorphic motif at its top, opposite the looped handle. Some nicely preserved pigment on the circle indicates that it previously contained a symbol of some sort, perhaps denoting the troop or tribe. Annular iron-nickel alloy buttons secure each handle and the brass adornment to this intriguing artifact. Size: 2.75" W x 18.25" H (7 cm x 46.4 cm)
Many Eastern, Western, and Trans-Mississippian Native Americans participated in the American Civil War as individuals, bands, tribes, and nations, mostly on the side of the Confederacy.
