Photo Transfer on Slate Slab
This unique collectible has a photo transfer of Scout Curley, who was the only survivor of Little Big Horn and Custer’s Last Stand, applied to a slab of slate or stone.

Curley is the English name for Ashishishe, a Crow Indian born approximately 1856 in Montana Territory. He lived on the Crow Reservation near Pryor Creek and enlisted in the U. S. Army as an Indian Scout in 1876. He was chosen to scout for the Seventh Cavalry during the Little Bighorn expedition in 1876 along with fellow Crow warriors. He witnessed parts of the Battle of Little Bighorn, and his translated account later appeared in several newspapers, as he was thought to be the only surviving witness from the U.S. side of Custer's Last Stand.
The back of the slab has a clear sticker attached with the following info:
Scout “Curley”
Lone survivor, “Little Big Horn”
Circa/ 1870s
#206
There is also a mark on the back where another sticker had been attached, presumably with the manufacturer’s mark.
The edges of this slab are ragged as if chiseled from a larger slab. I do not know the age or the maker of this unique collectible, but it is in excellent condition.
There are some tiny “chips” (peeling) on the transfer print, but that adds to the vintage affect. It’s a great addition to your Native American collection or a unique piece to display.
