This is a black and white illustration depicting a scene of Ona archery. The central figure is a man drawing back a large bow, aiming an arrow upwards. He is dressed in what appears to be animal hide clothing, with a fur-trimmed garment and footwear. In the foreground, to the left, is a child also dressed in fur, seated on the ground. To the right, partially obscured, is another figure, likely a woman, also in traditional clothing. The background is a simple, undefined ground, suggesting an outdoor setting. The style of the illustration is reminiscent of early ethnographic documentation, with a focus on capturing the appearance and activities of the Ona people.
