The dark blanket covers her from chin to below her waist. Her dress shows, red-and-blue striped with fringe. Her leggings are dark stroud with a white vertical stripe up the shins (undyed edges of strouding). Her feet are uncolored and resemble hooves. The man wears a long German silver hairplate ornament that reaches down the side of the horse. It ends with two red cloth streamers. His red shirt has a centered placard with gray-and-white ornament, probably beadwork. One legging shows under his dark �skunk� blanket�dark with the vertical stripe colored blue. He holds a blue bag or object under his left arm, and his left hands hold the reins. His right hand holds a quirt with two strands. The horse is white with blue markings along the made and down the back.
