Here I show you mi latest figure: a Crow warrior belonging to the death-seeking "Crazy Dogs Wishing to Die". They members, tired of life, pledged to actively seek death at battle and to "talk crosswise" (like a "contrary") during one season.
This warrior wears regalia of his society in form of a rattle and a sash, worn through a slit, items they had in common with the members of other Warrior Society called simply the "Crazy Dogs" (to whom they didn´t have any further connection). Moreover, he is armed with a spontoon tomahawk, a type of tomahawk specially favoured by Crow warriors. He wears a feathered warbonnet, like one of the Crazy Dogs Wishing to Die described by Robert H. Lowie in his article about Crow Military Societies. The Crow warbonnet sat flatter than others, like the one here. He also wears trade-cloth leggings with beaded pannels and a loop necklace, typical Crow features.
I hope you like it!
Cheers!
Looking good.
