Description
"Biróhkä, Hidatsa Man," watercolor by Karl Bodmer, 1834. This artwork showcases the decorated robes worn by some tribes. Biróhkä's features a fantastic variation of the feathered circle design. The three antler quirts in the center of the upper circle probably indicate horses captured or given away as gifts. The hourglass motifs in the lower circle may indicate enemies slain. He also wears a painted hat made from white buffalo.
