The piece shows vivid coloring of the Blackfeet or Blackfoot American Indian warrior in full war paint and dress showing a bone breast plate, beaded and quilled war shirt. Walter MClintock was a photographer from the late 19th Century to early 20th Century who was known for his depictions of the Blackfeet American Indians of Montana.
