A young Cayuse woman named Ku-mas-sag sits outdoors in autumn or winter on a striped woolen blanket laid on the leaf-strewn ground. Her long hair is braided and she wears a hat shaped like a truncated cone with beading or quilling on it in a geometric design; a western-style women's broadbrimmed hat with scarf and feather accessorizing it lies on the blanket at her side. One foot is outstretched, showing a legging with a floral design. She appears to be holding a buckskin purse or bag which, like her dress, is fringed. She wears a cloth long-sleeved under-shirt, belt, bracelets, and earrings, and around her neck appears to be a choker-style necklace or fastening for the short cape that covers her shoulders. The cape and top of her dress have beading or quilling in geometric block designs.

He wears a long feathered headdress, a round disk earring, a dark cloth shirt and dark cloth plaid pants, a light-colored cloth cape, and a belt. He is holding a scarf of cloth and fur in front of him. A striped blanket or piece of cloth hangs from a low branch behind him., Phillip Jones—Cayuse Tribe [in regalia with eagle feather bonnet.
