Gourd | Bison Hunt | Cotton Voile Bandanas

Inspired by Plains ledger art and the storytelling tradition of painted bison robes, Kerr-Chief’s newest two-tone design brings the movement of a bison hunt to life. More than seventy bison circle the composition, pursued by a dozen Plains Indian riders on horseback. Feather-bonnet wheels, sunbursts, pronghorn, and a thunderbird surround the scene, framed by a border inspired by Plains beadwork and quilling.

At the heart of Kerr’s drawing sits a tortoise, representing the passage of time and carrying the world upon its back. A quiet anchor amid the thundering herd.
