content: Design of Indian person's head wearing feather headdress. Collected for USNM in 1966 by Michael Kincaid Davis. Listed in Davis ms as: E.M. Roberts requested this design to sell to non-Indians who were interested in "Indian lore" (such as Boy Scout leaders) but who didn't want to wear Peyote jewelry "for fear of offending Indian friends." George "Dutch" Silverhorn also made versions of the Indian head. Purchased from E.M. Roberts, Anadarko, Oklahoma for $4. Made by Murray Tonepahote (Kiowa, Anadarko, Oklahoma) in about 1964.
