Summary:
Two abstract full-length Native-American figures representing Joseph and Jesus standing erect, side-by-side. Both figures have long braided hair, necklaces, and a single feather hanging from the back of their heads. Both figures are draped with a robe or blanket. The smaller figure, representing a young Christ, holds in his proper right hand a shepherd's staff with four feathers hanging from the curved section of the staff. The bottom of the staff rests on the plinth. The figures stand on a box-shaped base with a plaque.
