Historically Painted deer & elk Hides from Absaroka Western Designs and Tannery

Historically Painted Hides

The painted hides we create are researched very carefully from actual observed museum pieces, photographs, early journals and detailed notes. The primary area of interest is the central and northern plains, upper plateau and mountainous regions of western Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana from early historic to reservation periods (circa 1830 to 1900).

Painted hides can vary from commercial leather to brain tan deer, elk, moose, or buffalo. We use primarily alum tanned hair on hides Since we have our own hair-on tannery, we control the quality of any material used, thus maintaining quality while controlling costs. The majority of hides used are from the Rocky Mountain area.

All paints used are adapted to the use of the item. This may vary from earth paints to oil base paint.

No articles are treated with patina or aged unless specified by the buyer. We sign each piece in an inconspicuous location to avoid resale of the item as an "old piece."

All types of feather used are hand painted to assure an accurate reproduction.

W e combine over forty years of detailed study and recreation of the Native Americans. The work is an extension of our desire to produce the very best accurate portrayal of the articles used by the early people.

Satisfaction is guaranteed or the object can be returned within fourteen days for a full refund, less shipping and handling. Refund does not apply to specially-made custom design orders.

Orders must be accompanied by a 50% advance deposit and the balance due upon completion of the articles.
