A horizontally oriented sepia photogravure depicts a cluster of San Ildefonso Pueblo people with medium skin tones. At left, dancers wearing tall tablita headboards and patterned wraps move toward us. To our right, a line of men stands together, some holding drums. Behind them, low adobe buildings stretch across the horizon under a hazy sky. A large tree trunk stands on the far right.
