Label TextIn this drawing, Black Wolf, an Inunaina (Arapaho )warrior, identified by the designs on his shield, counts coup on a Apsaalooke (Crow) enemy by using his bow. The arrow flying past Black Wolf indicates that the Apsaalooke (Crow) warrior missed his mark. Both warriors are armed with only bows and arrows, compelling them to fight in close proximity to each other.Exhibition History"American Treasures from the Fenimore Art Museum," Society of the Four Arts, Palm Beach, FL, February 20, 2004 - April 11, 2004.
