This is a painting of a hunting scene featuring riders on horseback chasing antelope. The image depicts Native American horsemen dressed in traditional attire with vibrant colors, riding different colored horses - white, brown, and black - in mid-gallop as they pursue a group of antelope. The antelopes are elegantly painted, appearing to leap and run away from the horses. The background is unadorned, drawing focus to the subjects in motion. This is in the style of Awa Tsireh.
