"Reflections Of Roman Nose"
Oil   40" X 50"  

Roman Nose, a Northern Cheyenne, was a member of the Crooked Lance Society and although not a chief or medicine man, he was a well respected leader. He was known for his spirited horse and always carried a peculiar lance with an elk horn tip. The source of his "great medicine" was also the single horn buffalo headdress made for him by White Buffalo Bull, which had a long tail reaching towards the ground with 40 eagle feathers. Always displaying overwhelming confidence, he was easily recognized by other tribes. His actions gave strength and spirit to others, and he was called " the warrior of warriors”.
