content: Illus. p. 172 in Bailey, Garrick A., and Daniel C. Swan. 2004. Art of the Osage. Seattle: University of Washington Press/Saint Louis Art Museum. Identified there as German silver neckerchief slide. "This slide features symbols of war, including a pipe tomahawk, a bow, a quiver with arrows, a stone pipe, a war ball club with metal spike, and hawk or eagle's head. A roped border frames these images. The Osage man who commissioned this slide wanted those war symbols to demonstrate his interest in warfare. As a part of treaty agreements, the Osage would stipulate the inclusion of a blacksmith to repair firearms, horse gear, and farming implements. These smiths were also requested to make personalized items such as this slide."
