«4 Colors» is a private on-line gallery, focused on authentically styled Native American reproduction regalia (insignia) of the Plains Indian military societies.
A large number of the items (primarily war bonnets and jewelry pieces) are made by me — Maza Sapa (sometimes with a partial contribution of contemporary Native American artists), the rest — by a few of prominent Non-Native Plains artists. Each piece is thoroghly researched, often based on actual museum artifacts or antique photographs, and all materials used are genuine and historically correct, unless otherwise stated. All of the Gallery items are entirely handmade using traditional techniques with no machines and minimal hand tools, and are fully functional — they are perfect for ceremonial or social use, as modeling props, for collecting or as home decor. Some of them are available for sale or trade.
«4 Colors» is targeted for those who have an intrinsic affinity and a strong passion to the aesthetics of an old Plains Indian culture, as well as collectors of the North American Indians Artistry, and requires a leisurely, thoughtful viewing of photo and text contents.
The site is not suitable for stingy beggars, tight bastards, hipsters, mobile freaks and TLDR-folks.
If you have any questions or need further information about any of the items, please feel free to contact contact me.
