This little guy measures 4" tall and 6" long minus tail made of all natural raw materials that would have been found on the western plains in circa 1850. Constructed of rough cut lumber, file branded ( when a metal file is heated then burned into the wood an old technique used by plain Indians), horns are from a porcupine claws, tail of real buffalo Fur , mule deer dew claw, painted with Wyoming mined red ocher and last a medicine beaded ball is attached by a wrapping of antelope rawhide. So much to say for an authentic looking piece.. I would like to make some more a bit larger in the future....chris
