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. Rare and dignified vintage matte-finish 3.5 x 5.5 postcard photo, signed in black ink with his three-character pictogram of two rifles and a horned calf. Reverse bears a collector’s notation of provenance. In fine condition, with moderate silvering to the darker areas of the image, and some light brushing to the signature. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
