Honor tradition, craftsmanship, and history with this striking Native American-inspired scrap metal headdress sculpture. This one-of-a-kind piece beautifully blends cultural symbolism with reclaimed artistry, transforming rare vintage materials into a powerful sculptural tribute.
Crafted using authentic 1920's and 1930’s license plates, each feather is meticulously cut, shaped, and embossed with the original texture, numbers, and patina of nearly century-old metal. The feathers are individually wrapped in copper and barbed wire, adding depth, contrast, and rugged character while echoing the layered craftsmanship of traditional headdress designs.
The band features hand-twisted wirework, welded detail, and patterned metal elements that elevate the sculpture’s visual richness. Mounted securely on a sturdy base, the entire piece stands approximately 40” tall and 24” wide anchored by an 11” diameter base for stability and display.
This sculpture is not only a conversation starter - it is a piece of preserved history, reclaimed art, and respectful homage. This headdress sculpture stands as a testament to resilience, story, and the beauty found in materials of the past - reborn through metalwork into a truly unforgettable piece.
