Description
Photograph of a Navajo Indian, "Friendly", wearing solid silver neck ornaments and belt, ca.1900. The man appears to be leaning against a large adobe all. His attire is comprised of a headband, a tightly-patterned shirt, a belt with four visible medallions or buckles, a necklace with a crescent-moon styled pendant and beads, and what appears to be white linen pants. The man's long hair has been pulled behind his face. The photograph ends above the man's knees.
