Red Coat Cigar Store Indian 5 Footer by Frank Gallager 0055

Red Coat Cigar Store Indian

This Red Coat Cigar Store Indian is American Folk art at it's best! Created by Mandan tribal member, Frank Gallagher, this has been a family tradition for generations. Fully detailed, the hand carved and painted sculpture holds a pack of cigars just as they did in earlier times to advertise tobacconists. The tunic depicts a buffalo standing under the symbols for rain and sun. He's decorated with sacred images of the sun and his long breeches are a colorful contrast of grass green with metallic gold and red hash-marks. Including the pow-wow drum base, it's about 5 feet tall and artist signed (carved) on the back headdress. This Red Coat Cigar Store Indian is really cool and will wow all admirers.....no matter where he stands!

The Gallagher's use Aspen wood from Colorado to create these hand carved sculptures. With your purchase, you will receive a photocopy of an interview with Ralph Gallagher from the original June 1998 Issue of Arizona Highways magazine.
