Long Description: "Dressed in clothes of coloured feathers is a warrior who probably represents a Brazilian Indian. The man is probably a military commander for the pearls and precious stones adorning the rim of his head covering, the collar, the belt and the brooches on his sandals. The American Indian stands in a deserted landscape with a palm tree in the background." (dr. Polona Vidmar)
