- Lot Description
Native American, Central United States, Apache, ca. 19th to early 20th century CE. A wooden staff with a curved end and metal ornaments, used as a dance stick for the Sunrise ceremony that marks a girl's passage into womanhood. The crooked staff has incised linear markings just below the curved tip. A leather cord is twisted and tied from the interior of the staff to the tip of the curved end. Along the leather bands are silk ribbons, metal jingle bells, and a glass piece that looks like a bottle stopper. Some of the metal ornaments include brass buckles, openwork metal pendants with glass beads, and a naja pendant suspended from the top of the staff. Dyed pink goose feathers add a nice pop of color to the tip. The Sunrise dance is a four-day ceremony which an Apache girl goes through after her first menstruation. The girl temporarily becomes Changing Woman, an incarnation of the first woman and mother of the Apache people. The girl is presented with a crooked staff, such as this example, to dance with. The staff represents the cane the young woman may need in old age. Size: 38" L x 9" W (96.5 cm x 22.9 cm)
