Three Zurumati Indians

George Catlin I, 1854/1869

The image shows three individuals standing side by side. The person on the left holds a wooden object and a long bow. They have shoulder-length dark hair with colorful feathers, a necklace, and minimal clothing. The person in the middle holds a large ceremonial staff, has shoulder-length dark hair with feathers, a beaded necklace, and a loincloth. The person on the right holds a long spear, has similar hair, and wears a necklace and a loincloth. They are all barefoot. The background is simple with soft blue and brown tones, and the ground appears grassy. The frame has a muted green border.
