CROW LANCE CASES

Weaponry (beadwork) of the Native American Indian

 

Cases were made of rawhide and were introduced by the Crow and for the most part - exclusive to this tribe. They were also thought to be very sacred and therefore were not adopted by any other tribes. Prior to the introduction of the trade sword, they were used for the lance.
