Full length portrait of a seated man holding a bow and wearing a feather headdress

A sepia toned photograph shows a man seated in a wooden chair in a carpeted room. He is turned slightly to the right, while looking directly at us with a serious expression. He has medium dark skin and dark eyes. A fur band around his forehead that trails down to rest on his right shoulder holds six long feathers that protrude from behind his head. He wears a white shirt and dark bow tie, two circular medallions that hang at the lapels of his dark coat, and light colored pants with moccasin boots. In his lap he holds a bow and arrows.
