Portrait of Son Kono Geary in Regalia
Robert Joseph Geary Elem Pomo (Lake County, California)
Not on view
Kono Geary, the artist’s son, wears a ceremonial headpiece paired with a ba’qotheth xnoo, or headband made from the red-shafted flicker (a historical example is on view nearby), and a kisil, or feathered condor cape. He stands proudly, carrying his ancestral traditions into the future.
