The Delegate, 36 x 36, oil on canvas
This painting is a continuation of my 'Top Hat" series. In the 1880's
The Powers That Be in the United States Government would invite American
Indian leaders to Washington. There they were given gifts such as
clothing, flags, hats etc. The recipient would then use these items as
they saw fit. This hat is decorated with parts of a flag, an emblem from
a helmet, ribbons and feathers
