Warrior Shades - Buffalo Horn Rim Glasses

While these reading glasses are not without humor and irony, particularly with the words “Rez Ban” inlaid on the inner frame, they are also quietly charged with spirituality and traditional associations. According to the artist, the buffalo’s spirit resides within the horn cap, the material that forms the foundation of the frames. The pale yellow and deep red sandstone used for inlay are derived from locations significant in Lakota history and myth, and the abstract, geometric designs reflect older Lakota quill and beadwork motifs.
