Ethnographic Notes

Among several unfinished, or practice heads is another courting scene which includes two, unusual attempts to depict sound. Conversation is clearly passing between the man and woman; while her unhappy dog barks at the man, and is ignored. This motif of an intrusive dog is fairly common in Plains Indian depictions of courting.
