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. "When worn before noon, this German silver neckerchief slide represents the morning star to some clans of the Osage. When worn following noon prayers, the slide is turned upside down, which transforms the overall image inscribed on it into the evening star. The heart with a piercing arrow is a Western concept adopted for personal reasons by the Osage maker of this tie slide."
