Exceptional and vivid cabinet card photograph of a Native American warrior, richly attired in full ceremonial regalia. His beadwork, concho breastplate, necklaces, and earrings are beautifully visible, complemented by a large feathered headdress and ornate feathered fan held in each hand. He sits before a studio backdrop, with a feathered staff positioned beside him and a striped trade blanket wrapped around his lower half. His powerful gaze and the careful arrangement of symbolic objects elevate this portrait beyond a studio novelty—it’s an image of pride, tradition, and defiance.

Photographed by J.B. Kingham, with the mount reading “Between California and Reno, On Broadway, Oklahoma City, O.T.” This firmly places the image prior to Oklahoma’s statehood in 1907, during the era when it was still officially designated as Indian Territory.

The condition is excellent with crisp detail, strong contrast, and attractive tones. A standout example of territorial photography and a powerful representation of Native identity from the closing years of the 19th century.
