The image depicts three individuals in full-body view, standing side by side. The person on the left is leaning on their left leg, dressed in attire with fringes, long hair, a feathered headdress, holding a bow and shield. The central figure stands upright, wearing a feather headdress, a decorated garment with animal motifs, and holding a staff with feathers. The person on the right stands with folded arms, wearing a wrapped garment and holding a fan-like object. The background has soft, muted colors.
