"Mato-Tope, Adorned with the Insignia of his Warlike Deeds" is a notable illustration by Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, featured as plate 14 in Volume 2 of the book "Travels in the Interior of North America." This work was created during Bodmer's journey with German prince Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied between 1832 and 1834, aimed at documenting the landscapes, peoples, and wildlife of the North American interior.

The illustration depicts Mato-Tope (also known as Four Bears), a distinguished chief of the Mandan tribe, in full regalia, showcasing the intricate details of his traditional attire and the symbols of his valorous deeds in battle. Bodmer's portrayal is significant for its ethnographic accuracy and artistic detail, offering a valuable visual record of an Indigenous American leader at a time when the cultures of the Great Plains tribes were increasingly under threat.

Bodmer's works, including this illustration, are highly regarded for their contribution to the understanding of the cultural and natural history of the American West. They remain important historical documents, as well as exemplary pieces of early nineteenth-century American art.
