"Matchbook Chief Series #9485" features a profile portrait of a Native American figure, depicted within an oval outline on a textured, yellow background. The figure is adorned with a traditional feathered headdress, each feather incorporating segments of license plates from various US states, bearing numbers and parts of the states' names and notable landmarks. The color palette is vivid, with the warm hues of the feathers contrasting against the yellow backdrop. The entire piece is framed by a broad red border, followed by a thin blue outline, creating a striking visual effect that enhances the central image.
