Additional Description

Physical Description

Two Plains hunters with spears and a shield confront a pair of wild animals who have just taken down a third Native American who lies, presumably dead, between them with his spear to the side. The animals most resemble a spotted horse and a black buffalo, but may have further significance in Native American lore.
