A horizontally oriented photogravure in muted brown tones depicts a group of figures with medium-dark skin tones performing a dance in an open plaza. Two central dancers wearing horned masks and white shirts leap toward us. To the left, another dancer wears a tall feathered headdress. In the background, dozens of observers sit on the flat roofs of adobe buildings. Text below reads "BUFFALO DANCE AT HANO".
