In this black and white studio photograph, Black Horn (Tahe Sapa) stands in front of a painted backdrop. He is wearing a white shirt with a bone chest plate over it, dark pants, a feathered headdress, and beaded moccasins. There is a presidential peace medal around his neck, and in his right hand, he holds a peace pipe with a beaded sash tied to it. The photograph was taken at the Rosebud Reservation.
The peace medal around Black Horn's neck has a picture of George Washington on it, and was probably not a medal officially issued by the U.S. government. The Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation is located nine miles north of Valentine, Nebraska, in South Dakota.
