- Lot Description
Northwestern Europe, England, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE; Timothy W. Audiss (Lakota Sioux, 1961 to present). This is an interesting commentary piece: a 19th century beaver fur top hat manufactured by a British company, the silk lining is stamped in gilt "ED. THURMANN RONNEBURG" with a crown emblem, and the inner sweatband is hand signed in ink by 20th to 21st century Lakota artist Timothy W. Audiss with a fish symbol. The cardboard hat box is also antique but is painted by Audiss with stylized imagery and signed by the artist. The lid depicts a fox in a top hat with antlers, the sides contain a rider in a top hat and traditional clothing hunting a buffalo, and another pair of figures opposite also are dressed traditionally, again, one wears a top hat. This piece is a combination of antique artifacts meets modern artist, European style meets Lakota Native American culture. Size (box): 13.75" L x 11.5" W x 8.5" H (34.9 cm x 29.2 cm x 21.6 cm) Size: 10.5" L x 9" W x 6" H (26.7 cm x 22.9 cm x 15.2 cm); hat: 10.5" L x 9" W x 6" H (26.7 cm x 22.9 cm x 15.2 cm)
Timothy W. Audiss (Lakota Sioux, 1961 to present) is a self-taught artist specializing in traditional Lakota crafts. He was awarded the American Indian Artist Fellowship in 2001 and runs the "Thin Elk's Visions" gallery. He specializes in recreating past artifacts, honoring his ancestors and highlighting cultural changes and adaptions. Lakota craftsmen of the 19th century absorbed the items that traders and settlers brought; umbrellas and top hats were decorated with beads, feathers, fur, and quills.
