Lloyd Osbourne poses for a studio portrait whilst wearing the dress of a Marquesan chief. He is carrying a fighting club in his right hand, decorated with a tiki face. He is wearing anklets, skirt, loin cloth, collar, and headdress made of shell and tortoiseshell on his forehead. A circular drum stands on the floor beside him.
