- Small shield attachment nearly identical to outside cover of Comanche shield #2-4867D." Exhibited: UCLMA, Plains Indians, 1971; Library case 11/78-2/1/79. References: Peterson, Karen Daniels, Plains Indian Art from Fort Marion, Norman, University of Oklahoma, 1971. Color Plate 6: By (Ohettoint) Kiowa, 1893-98, "Tipi with battle pictures," page 85. Per Michael Cowdrey: "This is a model of the famous Kiowa "Tipi with Battle Pictures," painted by the renowned, Kiowa artist---and informant for the collector, Gen. Hugh Scott---Silverhorn. The same artist illustrated Scott's important paper on the Kado, or Kiowa Sun Dance. See Candace Greene's recent publication on Silverhorn, for comparison images of the artist's style; and John C. Ewers', Tipis in the Round, for more on this historic tipi pattern.
