DescriptionA darkened snowy foreground gives way to a large group of figures in a processional line that travels from the left across the entire canvas to the right. Behind the figures light and smoke from a fire ascend into the air. On the right two torches also give off a glow and smoke. The background is a pueblo style building with more figures scattered along the roofline.
