Studio Portrait of Two Ho-Chunk Men
Full-length studio portrait of Joe Thunderking Lowe (King of Thunder) (WauKonJahHunkKah), sitting and wearing Ho-Chunk-style bandolier bags across his chest, an Indian trade blanket on his lap, and Ho-Chunk moccasins. He is leaning on a pedestal of a prop stone wall that is draped with bandoliers of beads, hair pipe bone, and silver conches. David Davis W. Decorra (NeZhooLaChaHeKah), on the right, is dressed in contemporary clothing that has been accented with a Ho-Chunk beaded belt and a tie decorated with German silver brooches (heapoke). |
