Description |
Souvenir ashtray from Ausable Chasm. Glass, egg-shaped ashtray with horseshoe-shaped rim and one slot for a cigarette. In center, an image depicts a stereotypical image of a Native American man wearing a feather headdress. Above image, it reads: "AUSABLE CHASM, / NEW YORK". With green felt bottom. |
Notes |
This image largely comes from historically ignorant interpretations of Native American imagery and the headdress is most related to ceremonial examples from Plains/Dakota nations and are not authentic to pieces used by members of the Haudenosaunee confederacy past or present. |
