Vintage Native American Chieftain and Buffalo Framed Print

This item is a composite art print depicting a Native American chieftain in a full feather headdress superimposed over a landscape of American buffalo (bison). The artwork features a warm, sepia-toned palette dominated by oranges, browns, and deep reds, evoking a sunset or 'Golden Hour' atmosphere. The chieftain's portrait is rendered with significant detail, showing realistic facial features and a complex headdress with white feathers and dark tips. Below, the lower third of the composition shows buffalo fighting or roaming across a prairie. The piece is housed in a wide, rustic wooden frame characterized by deep machine-carved vertical grooves and a weathered, dark brown finish. The frame shows visible signs of age and wear, including several circular holes likely from mounting or previous hardware, and visible particulate/dust accumulation at the mitered corners. The print itself appears to be on a flat surface, potentially paper or thin board, and lacks a visible glass cover in the image. This style of decorative art was highly popular in the late 20th century (circa 1980s-1990s) as part of the Western-themed home decor movement. The craftsmanship of the frame suggests mass production designed to mimic reclaimed barn wood.
