Summary

Description

Moenitarri warrior in the costume of the dog dance.

Bodmers tryk viser et højtstående medlem af hidatsaernes Old Dog aldersselskab, Pehriska-Rupe. Han er iført sit parade-sæt og bærer de tilhørende værdighedstegn. Pehriska-Rupe stod model for Bodmer gennem flere dage inde i handelsstationen Fort Clark i marts 1834. Han bærer en hovedbeklædningen af tætsatte skadefjer, hver forsynet med en hvid spids af dun eller ilderskind. Et oprejst ørnedun og 12 oprette ørnefjer i forlængelse af hinanden fra for til bag er fastgjort midt i fjerprydelsen som en udspredt ørnehale. Et rødt stykke stof hænger som en smal kappe ned ad ryggen på ham. I en lædersnor om halsen har han en fløjte lavet af en lang knogle fra en fuglevinge. Han har en 30 cm lang rangle i højre hånd, som er lavet med klove af enten rådyr eller bisonkalve. Buen er udelukkende til pynt og er lavet af horn fra gevirer af bjerggeder eller wapiti-hjorte. Et ræveskind er fastgjort til anklen med en snor.

An eagle plume and 12 feathers from an eagle tail is secured to the middle of the headdress. He has a red sash hanging down the back. He carries a flute of a wing bone in a string around his neck. His rattle is made of dewclows from a deer or a buffalo calf. His bow is only for show and is made of horn from the antler of an elk or from a mountain goat. He has a foxskin tied to his ankles.
