3 1890'S INDIAN PORTRAITS

Sign In to see what this sold for

3 - 1890'S INDIAN PORTRAITS. 5 ¼" x 3 7/8" collodion prints, similar to the previous lot, but in a different studio. The club carried by the man in feathered headdress is actually a maul used by women for mashing choke cherries or pounding dried meat [thanks Mike Cowdrey.] His beaded strap is Ojibway. Many of these artifacts were widely traded, and so are not original with the tribe. Also a portrait of a seated Commanche or Kiowa man [this is slightly lighter.] Plus a portrait of an aged Pueblo man with an interesting face. All are clean without damage. [3], [3+]
