This vintage Native American Indian Roach is a unique piece. The Roach is made with high-quality materials and features intricate designs that reflect the culture and traditions of the Native American people. It can be a valuable addition to any collection of Native American artifacts and is a testament to the beauty and creativity of this rich culture.


The Roach is approx. 21 1/2" (21.5") long plus 7 1/2" (7.5") tall hairs stand up on top.  4 1/2" (4.5") wide at the top crown. 1 1/2" (1.5") wide down the back with 4 1/2" (4.5") long hairs at the end . It comes with a wooden, carved, tapered stick (21" long) that the roach was/is wrapped on to help maintain the shape of the Roach. I am not sure if this is original with the roach, or added later.


I am not sure of the tribe; however, after a little research, I found one similar, that mentioned it was Sioux.


Also, I am not sure of the age of this Roach. It does appear to be a handmade, vintage/antique Roach, in very good condition.


This Roach was obtained from a local collector of many fine and rare quality items.


Any questions, just ask and I will answer them to the best of my ability, as I am not an expert on this item. Thanks!
