He holds a Colt revolver in his hands. The other warrior has shoulder length hair, a wide beaded hair pipe breastplate in contrasting colors layered over a tunic with beaded sleeves and fringe hanging from the shoulders. His deerskin leggings show fringe from hip to ankle. He wears moccasins and holds a blanket in his lap. A patterned rug is on the floor.
