Interior, two Native American (Tewa) men and a white man pose for a portrait (standing) on a woven blanket, Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico. Pedro Cajete holds a drum and beater. Possibly Anacito holds a wide brimmed hat with a metal star bage. Pedro Cajete wears moccasins, beaded leggings, a long breechcloth, a long printed shirt, a hair pipe choker, and beaded fur pelts covering braided hair. Anacito wears beaded moccasins and leggings, a long breechcloth, a light shirt, a hair pipe choker, possibly a metal brooch, and scarves covering braided hair. The white man wears a dark three piece suit, a watch chain and metal lapel pin. Two painted animal skin shields with cloth borders and possibly a feather headress hang on the adobe wall behind the three men.
