Locke offers a different take on traditional ledger art by using vintage sheet music to demonstrate the divide between Native and white culture.

Mr. Locke tells us that Native children in boarding schools often used sheet music or pages torn from hymnals to practice the painting and drawing taught to them by their parents.

A couple in full ceremonial dress look out from sheet music entitled Ivory Icing. An eagle soars above them.

This is a rare opportunity to own a unique piece by one of the most recognized Oglala Lakota artists working today!

Condition: No defects or scratches to the art or unusual wear and tear, although the antique music shows normal signs of wear and age.
