DescriptionA central diamond shape is divided into two triangles by serrate black edges. Inside the triangles a white abstract geometric figure appears on a grey background. These triangles serve as the lower body of an anthropomorphic figure that appears above each one in mirror image. Their upper bodies have two black and white feather designs on a grey background, and their arms are raised so that their hands are at the level of their heads. They appear on a large white rectangle with intricate black, grey, and brown designs on either side. The border consists of interlocking black and grey diamond shapes that are separated by a white line. The outside border of the piece is a simple grey band.ProvenanceSusan De Jong, Santa Fe, NM;
