<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 378857, member: 2844&quot;]Nice painting and nice subject. Although he is sinking a bit, the painter should have placed him higher on he canvas. Maybe that&#039;s just me.</p><p>Pity about the damage, but it can be repaired.</p><p><br /></p><p>The beading pattern on the gauntlet cuffs is familiar, just can&#039;t think who-what-where. The morning star pattern, those little crosses, is pretty generic, as is the triangular pattern on the band of the bonnet.</p><p>The combination of&nbsp; that white elkskin with sky-blue beading is a favourite of the Ute. My favourite too btw. Not saying this gentleman is Ute, but he could be. </p><p>The style of the shirt is not old, but that&#039;s ok, the painting is not pretending to be old.</p><p>Blue is also the colour of wisdom and intuition among Plains NA. That, along with what looks like a turtle pattern on the fan, could mean your chief is a spiritual leader/Holy Man. Fans usually signify spirituality as well as dignity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
