DescriptionMan leading a brown-and-white pinto horse by the reigns. Man wears a colorful outfit of a red shirt with diamond patterns, a dark blue button short vest with a collar, a light blues sash, a shoulder pouch. His pantaloons are white with blue-black diamond pattern. His boots are knee high rust leather colored moccasins with a tie at his knee. He leads the horse over a terrain marked with a few scattered large rocks and a yucca plant at the horse's rear, a pinion or scrub pine at the head. There is an outline of clouds in the sky, above which a kachina face appears, with eagle feathers at the right side of the face, and a left tab ear.
