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.
