Destiny Giclee Print
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

Storm in the Heart
Storm in the Heart, 23 x 30, oil on linen
This Plains Indian Warrior has a painted face and wears eagle feathers in his hair.
What is the meaning of the face paint in my American Indian paintings?
American Indians painted their faces for decorative purposes and for protection against the wind, sun, snow and insects. Designs of various kinds were used to designate membership in certain societies, to prepare for ceremonies, to mark achievement and to mourn the dead. When used for personal ornamentation there was no guide to the way the paint should be applied beyond the fancy of the wearer or for personal identification.

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.
