A sepia-toned photogravure portrait depicts the head and upper torso of a man with weathered skin looking directly at us. His hair is swept back with small feathers tucked into the crown. Layers of light-colored bead necklaces drape over a dark, patterned garment. Centered and vertical, the composition highlights deep horizontal furrows across his forehead and a firm, straight mouth. Faint text at the bottom identifies the subject as Piópio-Maksmaks.
