This excellent watercolor on paper by José Disiderio (J.D.) Roybal [1922-1978] Oquwa - Rain God depicts a male dancer wearing ceremonial regalia, in full profile. The bow and spruce twigs, white shirt overlaid with buckskin, cotton sash, dance kilt with tin cones, leggings, leg ties and full moccasins are resplendent in color. Roybal presents a lovely image with magnificent attention to detail. This is a very realistic portrayal of traditional dance attire.
