"Agate Arrow Point, Warm Springs" is a chromolithograph card from the "American Indian Chiefs" series by Allen & Ginter, a popular brand of cigarettes in the late 19th century. The card features a portrait of Agate Arrow Point, a Native American from Warm Springs, adorned in traditional headdress and jewelry. The card is framed by stylized illustrations of Native American attire, adding to the overall sense of authenticity and detail. It is a fascinating glimpse into the cultural representation of Native Americans during this era, and is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
