There are four separate images being depicted on the paper. The first in the top portion of the paper is a group of twelve tipis at the base of a foothill.

In the background there are mountains. In the third drawing to the right of the second is a group of people travelling in a horse caravan. Above them there is a rough sketch of what could be another tipi. In the fourth drawing in the bottom half of the paper near the right edge there is a man driving a wagon. You can see that he is holding the reins, but the team that is leading cannot be seen. verso: in the TLC it says “K22-2” and in the TRC “Flecn 339”
