✨ A portrait with presence—and an artist’s personal touch.
Some vintage pieces invite a closer look. This 1979 “Chief Sitting Bull” collector plate features Gregory Perillo’s striking portrait, framed in rich brown with gold-tone inner trim. The detailed expression, flowing fringe, and bird imagery give the piece a quiet strength.
🖊️ What makes this one special is Gregory Perillo’s hand signature in marker across the lower front, separate from the smaller artist’s mark within the reproduced artwork. That personal finishing touch makes this a lovely find for a Perillo collector.
Issued by Vague Shadows Ltd., this is the first plate in the Chieftain Series, numbered 132 from a limited edition of 7,500. The artwork reproduces Perillo’s original oil painting.
