A Yuma Kokopelli, this image shows a highly painted musician of the Yuma tribe playing the flute. For some reason, the photographer has chosen to place three playing-cards face-up at his feet, a 10 of diamonds, 8 of clubs and 7 of hearts. These old-time cards do not have the numbers written on them, just the symbols. The body paint is also in the form of symbols, but not ones we are familiar with.

This photo was taken by Isaiah West Taber of San Francisco, probably in the 1880s. It is a studio portrait, with the bare-footed musician sitting on a tree stump shaped prop, against a plain background.
