DescriptionPortrait head of a Native American man. The man has long hair, wide cheek bones, a tight lipped mouth, and appears to be frowning. Behind the man's head at both sides are large circular protrusions that look like earrings. The front center where the figure's chest would be is a square shaped band of horizontal stripes; this could be representative of a breast plate. The bronze has a black patina.On View
