The image shows four individuals standing. Two figures on the left are men in traditional clothing with feathered headdresses. One is in a red-bordered blanket and the other wears leggings and a sash with spears/staffs. The figure on the far right is a woman holding a baby in a cradleboard, wearing a skirt and shawl. Another male figure in the center wears leggings and holds a bow. The background is lightly painted in blue and green, suggesting a natural setting, with the figures standing on grass.
