The image shows four individuals standing outdoors. On the left, a woman stands with her child. The woman is wrapped in a patterned blanket and has long, black hair. The child is dressed simply. In the center, another individual stands with long, dark hair adorned with feathers and a painted face. This person wears a necklace and an ornate wrap. The fourth person stands on the right, holding a decorated spear. This individual has long hair tied back, showing a bare upper body, and is draped in a blanket around the waist. All are set against a painted sky and grassy terrain, enclosed in an oval frame with a brown and green border.
