A Native American boy (Zuni) wears a woven shirt and leggings and poses beside a timber ladder and adobe and stone pueblo walls and buildings at Zuni, New Mexico. The structure identified as the "Governor's House" has a wooden framed doorway and window, timber rafters (vigas) and a chimney pot. Ristras, dried corn, probably some sort of fowl, metal buckets, a woven basket and painted pottery are in front of the building.
