DescriptionAn etching in maroon and dark red. The image, depicting a Hopi Rain Bird, features geometric shapes and thin hatched lines. On the left side of the image, long thin lines extend downwards from a rectangle filled with a crosshatched pattern. To the right, repeated triangles line the top edge of the image. A large shape filled with hatched lines and organic textures is connected underneath the line of triangles with a thin line. The large shape is mostly rectangular, with straight lines and sharp angles forming the left, right, and top sides, while the bottom half of the shape features organic curves. Extending from the curved bottom edge of the large shape is an organic shape with three protrusions which forms a spiral at its tip.
