Some monks holding hand held drums are processing

while the spinner by means of a corn-cob reduces the yarn to a more uniform size

A man with a long grey beard sits in the sand

In the foreground a lone bush grows in the bare sands at the right

In the right background one and two storey houses line the shore

perhaps more advanced in civilized arts than the people of Taos
