The painting is entitled "The Zuni Rain God" and is signed M. Sandy and dated 1977. It shows the Rain Priest with a medicine basket that holds a wrapped bundle with many colorful feathers. He is heading toward the religious shrine. Interestingly he is dressed in traditional Native clothing-the pants with the split up the side are traditional Hopi and Zuni cotton trousers that were made from hand woven cotton.
