Vividly hand-tinted carte de visite of a Native American youth holding a decorated pipe or ceremonial club across his lap. His sleeves, choker, and various adornments have been carefully tinted in bright magenta, saffron yellow, and orange tones, highlighting the artistry of the subject's attire. A fur pelt drapes across his shoulder, and he wears multiple beadwork strands, including a distinctive choker necklace.

Backmarked by the photographic partnership of J. W. Mosser and Martin Fiedler, operating at Fort Reno, Indian Territory—an extremely scarce imprint from the frontier outpost that served as a central hub during the late 19th century for interactions between the U.S. Army and Southern Plains tribes.

This powerful and intimate portrait captures both the artistry of Native dress and the unique presence of the sitter. The hand-coloring adds remarkable visual interest and period authenticity.
