DescriptionHorizontal composition of a room with seven men dressed in Western wear. At right is a low chest on which sits a basin, a framed photograph of Larry McNeil holding a camers, and photographic equipment. Above it are four framed photographs of Native American families. A man dressed as the TV character Tonto (wearing a headband, a fringed jacket, and a holster) is holding the head of another man over the basin, as if preparing to dunk him. Standing at an angle behind him is a man dressed as the TV character The Lone Ranger (wearing a black mask over his eyes, white cowboy hat, black gloves and holding a pistol in his right hand and a script in his left hand) who appears to hold a gun toward a man representing Edward Curtis. In the far right background are an oil lamp, a picture of Raven by Larry McNeil, and architectural details.On View
