My next match-up discovery is a Blackfoot split horn bonnet, which was sold for: $39,975 on American Indian & Ethnographic Arts auction 2983B in 2017. Auction description: Blackfeet Ermine Skin Headdress, c. last quarter 19th century, mountain sheep hide foundation covered with ermine strips, the red trade cloth brow band with brass shoe buttons, the horns completely covered in silk ribbons, with red dyed horsehair drop, lg. from horn to bottom 25 in.
Later I found an old photograph of Mrs Two Guns White Calf, wearing this bonnet, which probably belonged to her husband John Piegan Two Guns White Calf, or maybe was a studio props.
