The image shows an upper body profile of a person who is depicted seated or standing, with their gaze directed to the right. The person's facial features are sharp and defined, with a strong jawline and prominent nose. They have long, dark hair that is partially covered by a dark headpiece, which is accentuated by a single, large feather projecting upward. The person is wearing a garment with a high collar and a patterned design, likely adorned with vertical stripes that suggest a beaded or woven material over the chest area, and layered with a dark vest. The background is plain and unadorned. There are inscriptions on the left side of the image, including the text "CHIEF WHITE MAN," "KIOWA," and "BASKIN 1973."
