Blackfoot chief (1872–1934) best known for the durable though still-controversial claim that he served as one of models for sculptor James Earle Fraser in creating the composite Native American portrait on the “Buffalo” nickel. Scarce and arresting vintage 3.5 x 5.5 postcard photo, signed in black ink with his three-character pictogram of two rifles and a horned calf. In fine condition, with few light creases, a couple of scattered stains, and silvering to the darker portions. RRAuction COA.
