This Plains Indian is wearing a scarf slide made of German Silver.  When fur traders first made contact with  American Indians they traded small items in exchange for furs. Silver objects were one of the items that were popular

Eventually, items were made expressly for the purpose of trading. Around the mid 19th century these items were made from "German Silver",  an inexpensive silver-white alloy containing copper and zinc and nickel.

Three sizes of Prints available: 19" x 23", 15" x 18", 10" x12"  Image Sizes are Approximate and not exact! In addition, there is a 1/2" white border around the image so the print can be easily matted. This is a Giclee Print on high-grade Epson Enhanced Matte paper.

The giclĂ©e fine art print process is able to reproduce the detail and essence of the original oil painting but at a more affordable price than an original K Henderson Painting. The images are printed on high-grade Epson Enhanced Matte paper. They are shipped  in a heavy weight 3” mailing tube by Priority USPS. They are not framed and not mounted

Sees for Miles by K Henderson


Sees for Miles, 30 x 30, oil on linen

Otter Breastplates were worn by the Plains Indians and were commonly decorated with Trade Mirrors
Fur traders introduced Trade Mirrors to the American Indians in the 17th century. Reflective surfaces were thought to have mystical powers and these mirrors were quickly adopted for use as decorative additions to warbonnets, otter breastplates and bustles, as well as for signaling mirrors.

Eyes of American Indians Book



Over the years I've had many people ask me if I have prints. The answer is 'No' (with the exception of a few I did several years ago) Instead of having prints made I decided to publish a small book of 40 of my paintings.I'm extremely happy with the quality of the printing and the construction. I hope you like it too. This is a 'print on demand' book from Blurb.com

The book is softcover, 6.75" x 6.75" and has 40 pages. If you click on this link you will be redirected to the site where you can preview the entire book, and if you choose, make a purchase.

This book is available at a discount to you if you have purchased an original painting. If you have purchased one of my paintings and haven't received your book, contact me for information!
