This is a drawing of an eagle dance being performed. The scene depicts three figures standing in an open space. One central figure is prominently dressed in a costume resembling an eagle, with large feathered wings outspread. The figure to the right is also costumed, wearing a headdress and a skirt with patterns, striking a similar pose to the central figure. The third figure on the left stands in a passive pose, possibly holding an instrument or object and is dressed in a long, decorated garment. The background features what appears to be adobe-style structures, and sparse details suggest a natural landscape beyond.
