Artifact Overview

Many early 20th century luxury automobile manufacturers outfitted their vehicles with hood ornaments or mascots. These decorative mascots were not only an advertisement for the company, but were also a symbol of the car owner's wealth and good taste. It seems appropriate that American car manufacturer Pierce-Arrow affixed an archer to the fronts of its models.
