Distinctive

A bare-chested, long-haired man with a feathered headband at the lower left, one arm reaching across a bright yellow prairie towards a small brown tipi and cooking pot at the lower right. Four white score-reel windows in two rows cut straight across the artwork, with a narrow painted figure between the top pair. A large curved dark-red title sits on a pale blue banner across the whole top, unreadable at this resolution. The lower half is an unusually bright, flat saturated yellow-ochre plain against pale blue sky, giving a poster-like look.

Full description

A painted backglass with a Native American / Plains frontier theme, photographed slightly out of focus so fine detail is soft. The layout is divided into horizontal bands by white score-reel windows with black frames: an upper row of two long six-digit windows, one left and one right, with a narrow painted motif between them, and a second lower row of shorter reel windows set left and right. Above the top reel row runs a pale sky-blue banner carrying a large curved title in dark red with lighter highlights, but the letters are too blurred to read. The background is pale blue sky over a flat yellow-ochre prairie. In the lower half a bare-chested man with long black hair and a feathered headband appears in three-quarter view at the left, one arm outstretched across the frame; near the centre are red and orange painted shapes suggesting a rider, a bird with spread wings and a smoking campfire; at the right a brown conical tipi stands on the yellow ground with a small dark cooking pot beside it. Green, tan and cream decorative motifs run down the left edge.
