Moses, Chief of the Okinokans 1891 - 1906

"Moses, Chief of the Okinokans" is a bronze relief portrait created by American sculptor Olin Levi Warner between 1891 and 1906. The circular relief depicts the Native American leader in profile, with a focus on his weathered face and long hair. The inscription around the portrait identifies Moses as "Sul-k-tash-koshia (The Half Sun), Chief of the Okinokans," highlighting his tribal identity and leadership. The work is a fine example of American realism in sculpture, capturing the subject's likeness with detail and sensitivity. It is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's permanent collection.
