This colorful and intricate composition by Louis Lomayesva depicts the performers of the Hopi Corn Dance. The eight dancers in the foreground wear ritual clothing with highly detailed woven designs. A group of men stands nearby, including a figure who beats a hide-covered drum. The background is omitted to focus attention on Native American life and traditions.
