DescriptionTwo young men stand with two burros at the Pueblo of Sandia in New Mexico. The donkies are carrying packs with bundled chile and blankets. The men are standing with the burros outside of an adobe ruin. In the far background are pueblo buildings and the Sandia Mountains.The man on the left has a patterend bandana around his head, has shoulder length hair, wears layers of button-down shirts, trouders, and has a stripped blanket tied around his waist. He holds a stick in his left hand and looks at the camera. The person on the left also wears a patterend bandana around their head over bangs. They are wrapped in a thickly woven stripped blanket which comes over the crown of their head and shoulders. They wrap the blanket tightly at the chest. Baggy white trousers peak out from beneath the blanket.
