DescriptionA native seated on a horse and holding its reins leans to speak to another native male who is walking with a horse. The walking figure has a dark jacket cinched with a concho belt and is wearing a headband. The horseman has a blanket draped across his shoulders. A couple stands to their left also traditionally dressed. Two figures in front of the horses are reaching forward with their hands to touch the horses. Two figures behind the horse and rider complete the scene.
