Lawyer Hal-hal-tlostsot Head Chief of the Nez Perce Tribe
Pencil sketch on paper. Portrait of a Native American man, head and shoulders view. His hair is worn long and loose. He is wearing a tall hat with a brim. Three ostrich feathers are fastened to the hat with three horizontal bands of fabric (?). His shirt appears to be an Indian style buckskin shirt with fringe at the shoulders and a V-shaped flap at the neck. There are letters on the shirt which correspond to a legend in the top right corner. This indicates that the shirt is made of white and red skins. By Gustav Sohon.
