A vertically oriented photogravure in warm brown ink depicts a silhouetted man between towering rock formations. Facing right, he raises his arms, holding a long feather in each hand against a bright, cloudy sky. He wears a knee-length wrap. Below, capitalized serif text reads "OFFERING TO THE SUN—SAN ILDEFONSO." High contrast defines the figure against the luminous background, framing him within the craggy shadows of the canyon.
