Created by Red Horse, a Minneconjou Lakota who fought in the battle, this pictographic drawing depicts the aftermath of Custer's defeat with unflinching directness. Fallen cavalry soldiers scatter across the composition, their blue uniforms and naked bodies arranged in the non-perspectival style traditional to Plains Indian ledger art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished as Plate XLVI in the Bureau of Ethnology's Tenth Annual Report, this image represents an extraordinary moment in American documentary history: a federal institution publishing Indigenous perspectives on one of the most mythologized battles of the Indian Wars. The lower register shows Lakota warriors counting coup and collecting weapons, activities that held deep spiritual and social significance in Plains warrior culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA museum-quality document that bridges ethnography, military history, and Native American artistic tradition, this plate offers collectors an authentic window into how the victors of Little Bighorn understood and commemorated their triumph.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.25\" x 7.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear.
