Deer Dancers

Print

Depiction of four stylized deer dancers, each wearing headdresses including the head, antlers, and upper skin of a deer, probably deerskin loin cloths, feather bands around their waists. All have circles pained on their upper bodies, arms and legs, and all but the front dancer have pendant anklets on both feet. They are each holding sticks representing the legs of the deer.
