Goldtone (orotone) photographic print on glass in original frame. Image shows a cloudy sky and grassy plain with hills in the background, towards the sides of the print. In the middle ground, there are three figures on horseback. In the foreground, towards the right side of the print, there is a small oval-shaped pond. The artist signature is in the bottom right corner. The wide frame is painted dark brown and gold, with a pattern. The corners of the frame have dark gold batwing designs done in high relief. The frame's outer rim curves downwards and then upward towards the inner rim, which edges the photographic print. The back of the frame is covered in brown paper. On the back, in the top left corner, the photograph title is printed on plain paper. The artist’s studio mark is attached to the top right corner. There is hanging hardware close to the top.

Oval woven basket with lid. Basket body decorated with faded green (?) designs on natural ground, one on each side: two equilateral crosses with four arms bent at right angles (right-facing swastikas) are found opposite one another and two "Z" patterns opposite one another. On the lid, there are what appear to be two birds (?) (possibly hell-diver bird motif?) opposite one another in the same faded green (?).Note: The swastika is usually considered a non-traditional Northwest Coast basket design symbol. It was popular in the early 20th century in Europe and North America as a good luck symbol but disappeared from use after it became negatively viewed because of its association with the Nazi party.
