Full length portrait of a seated man holding a ceremonial wooden pipe

A sepia toned photograph shows a three quarter view of a man sitting in a chair, facing left and looking up. He has medium dark skin, creased lines on his face, and long, dark straight hair that hangs down to his chest. He wears a single, tall feather, standing up at the back of his head. Around his neck he wears a scarf under the collar of his white shirt. He has a blanket wrapped around his waist and legs as he sits in a polished wooden chair in a carpeted room with a blank backdrop behind him.
