Portfolio XVII, Plate 609: The Terraced Houses of Zuñi

Edward S. Curtis

Cleveland Museum of Art

Brown and beige tones dominate the image. A cluster of brown adobe buildings with flat roofs are stacked on top of each other on a hillside. The buildings have small openings for doors and windows. Ladders made of wood lean against the buildings, leading to the roofs. The roofs have wooden beams protruding from them. A domed structure sits on the left. The ground appears dusty. The sky above the buildings is clear. A border surrounds the image with a title at the bottom.
