A horizontally oriented photogravure in warm sepia tones depicts three wooden tripods arranged in a receding line across an open field. Each tripod features long poles tied at the top, supporting bundles adorned with thick, long fringes. On the left, a light-colored tipi with dark circular patterns stands behind the foreground tripod. Small printed text at the bottom reads, "Sacred Bags of the Horn Society—Blood."
