A vertically oriented sepia photogravure depicts a man staring directly at us with a furrowed brow and firm mouth. He wears a towering, conical woven headdress that tapers to a point, accented by wispy feathers. His light-colored, fringed garment features cylindrical ornaments hanging near his chest. The soft, mottled background highlights the weathered textures of his skin. Small text at the bottom reads "KLAMATH WARRIOR'S HEAD-DRESS."
