DescriptionA pair of Native American men is leading a ceremonial procession, carrying baskets that are full of feathers. Walking behind the pair are two large Shalako figures. These figures have a feathered headdress and long beaks. A man stands off to the right side of the second Shalako. There appears to be snow on the ground and pueblo dwellings can be seen in the background.On View
