Framed gouache painting on board, Native Man with Staff and Roach Headdress, signed lower left Tartsah (Jim Tartsah, Kiowa, 1934-1984), sight: approx 14"h, 19.75"w, overall: approx 20.75"h, 16.5"w, 3.75lbs 

07.07.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 2473: Please note that the sheet was not examined outside the frame, I note that the painting remains securely encased within framing, which exhibits only a few minor nicks commensurate with use/ hanging, the sheet is free from observed loss, holes, or tearing, and UV light examination does not reveal evidence of restoration or inpainting, the paper exhibits a few areas of very minute spotting, which in my opinion appears to be some smudged/ transferred pigment on negative space and is original to creation, matting is free from observed blemishes, and glass of the frame is free from visible chips or fractures
