Physical Description: Full frontal portrait of Yellow Bull a Nez Perce Indian man. He wears a head dress composed of cloth braid in plaid and wave weave patterns for the head band, feathers stick up on top of the head band. Much of the background is blurred and though the head dress appears to be larger and higher than what is immediately apparent one cannot distinguish the details. He is dressed in a western style, front center button shirt with a wool vest and quill neck choker. White objects associated with the side of this head and ear areas are indistinguishable to this examiner.
Description: This is a portfolio print from Edward Curtis' series "The North American Indian," plate 257, portfolio 8.
