- Description
- An interior photograph of a European-American man, identified as Lee Moorhouse, standing in a room filled with Native American ceremonial objects and general artifacts. The man is holding a rifle in his right hand with the rifle base leaning on the floor. He is attired in European-American clothing with a hat, necktie, vest, shirt, jacket, trousers and shoes. Two walls of the room can be discerned. The wall to the left of the man shows an open door to what appears to be a small storage cabinet. There is a book on the cabinet and a paper attached to the open door. Behind the cabinet are two chairs, one of which is a rocking chair. Behind the chairs is what appears to be a couch; there is a Native-American blanket laying on it. All along the left wall are various Native American artifacts, including a headdress and hand drums. There is a deer's head mounted on the wall with a painting or photograph under it. To the right of the man is a full size deer mount. Behind the man and mounted deer are various tables and a chair. On the rear wall are hung three American flags, two of which show 48 stars. Below the flags are various Native American artifacts, mounted antlers, and several swords. A single light bulb hangs from the ceiling. [Self-portrait of Lee Moorhouse in his office in Pendleton, among his curios. He poses with a rifle next to a stuffed buck, wearing a buckskin vest and jacket. c. 1915]
