Three Chaymas Men

George Catlin II, 1854/1869

Three men are shown standing side by side, facing each other. The man on the left holds a spear, has short dark hair, high cheekbones, and a determined expression. He wears a fringed garment, loose shorts, and decorations on his ankles and biceps. The central man stands with his hands on his hips, wearing a feathered headdress and a fringed garment with a belt. He has a decorated shoulder strap and a quiver of arrows on his back. The man on the right holds a bow, and a shield on his back, with bands on his arms and neck. The background is a warm gradient.
