DescriptionIn this printed reproduction of a mural, a central figure is plainly based on one of the numerous bird motifs which appear so frequently. To the right of this is another highly conventionalized bird concept, probably an eagle. On the left is what appears to be a human form disguised with a zoomorphic mask. Below is the familiar plumed serpent, the Awanyu, guardian of springs and streams. The whole is surrounded by the conventional deisgn indicating clouds.- Masterpieces of Primitive American Art
