A soft, vertically oriented photogravure in warm sepia tones depicts an older Assiniboin person with medium-dark skin in side profile, facing left. Kneeling in a thick, textured robe, they lean forward with eyes downcast, their right hand reaching toward smoke rising from dry brush. Blurred foliage fills the background. Text includes "Plate 631" at the top left and "KINDLING FIRE—ASSINIBOIN" along the bottom.
