Adorned Buffalo Horn Rattle

This gorgeous Plains Indian rattle measures 22 inches long overall, acquired from the estate of noted museum founder and collector Robert Owen Browne.

The workmanship is impeccable.  The rattle is constructed of multiple types of materials including buffalo horn, felt, wood, feathers, bells, leather, tiny glass beads, larger ceramic beads and brass studs.

A forked stick forms the framework into which has been lashed a buffalo horn.  The open end of the horn is covered with hide that has been adorned with a felt heart and beading.

An excellent piece, well worthy of any Plains Indian artifact collection.

As noted previously, this fantastic piece was acquired at the estate auction of a museum quality collection that was established in the early 1920's -- the estate of noted archeologist, historian and collector, Robert Owen Browne.  Mr. Browne was born in 1902.  After graduating from Regis College in Denver, Colorado, he moved to California in 1927 to work for Standard Oil until his retirement in 1966.

A founder of the Ojai Valley Museum, the Albinger Archeological Museum and the Archeological Society of Ventura County,  Mr. Robert Owen Browne continued his education, making a name for himself in anthropology and archaeology and was chosen to study with Dr. Leakey in Kenya in 1966.  In 1989, Mr. Browne was honored for distinguished contributions to California history by the Conference of California Historical Societies.
