The composition features three abstract ancestral visages with stylized rectangular eyes, open circular mouths, and marvelous feathered headdresses - all delineated in beautiful shades of turquoise, russet, amber, rose, black, and gold. In addition, Abeyta rendered the composition in bas relief, creating a tactile effect that is especially pronounced in the feathers.
