Deadwood, Original Hemp Lasso

original movie prop

This is an original prop hemp lasso used as set dressing in an unknown episode of the western drama series, Deadwood.  The lasso features hemp material over a bendable wire interior, allowing the piece to maintain it's shape as a rounded lasso.  I believe this lasso might have been used in seaon one, episode six, titled "Plague".  It appears to be the same lasso that was mounted to Sheriff Bullock's (Timothy Olyphant) horse in the scene where Sheriff Bullock is ambushed by an Indian warrior. Authentic props or wardrobe from Deadwood are very hard to come by.  COA from Propstore of London.
