Rare Seneca (Seneka) Native American Daguerreotype Portrait 1/6th Plate

Description: We have had this daguerreotype in our collection for over 50 years. It was a mystery to us until recently. The sitter looked to be a Native American and we could not read the pencil inscription on the back. So, we showed it to an anthropologist who immediately recognized the inscription to read Seneka which is another spelling for Seneca. So, we think this a portrait of a Seneca Indian. The Seneca People live in the Lake Ontario area. Important. Please note, this dag is not a strong image. It is light and a hard to see unless you hold it in just the right way. It is not sealed and shows some light wear. A 1/6 th plate, it is housed in the typical dag gold frame and mat and housed in a half vase and not a full case. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions.
