This is a wonderful Hudson Bay trade silver cross from the Illini Tribe. The piece is from the 18th to early 19th century. The piece shows a traditional Illini Native American Indian design and the famous, “Drunken Indian” image across the center. The portrait shows the Indian warrior with a bottle in one hand and a tomahawk in the other. This is a scarcely seen style of silver cross artifact from the Illini Upper Missouri Indian Confederation. The cross measures 11 5/16”x8.5” and is in a black display box with glass top that is 12.25”x16.25”.
