Antique Native American Chief Embroidered Portrait

This beautifully detailed portrait of a Native American Chief is a striking piece of vintage folk art. This unique mixed-media piece combines tight, expressive texturing with vibrant embroidery and accent beadwork to construct the chief's full ceremonial headdress and profile. Set against a deep, dark silk background, the contrasting red, yellow, green, and white tones of the feathers immediately catch the eye. The artwork comes housed in a handsome, dark-stained wooden vintage frame accented with an inner gold trim border that perfectly highlights the piece. Excellent vintage condition. The frame shows light, character-rich aging consistent with its vintage history, and the textile work remains tight and vibrant. The work has been framed with art glass to protect against UV and to prevent any reflection on the piece. H: 22.5cm x W: 22.5cm x D: 2.5cm
