At bottom, the bride stands next to her tipi, fully adorned, with more gifts: (left to right) beaded pipe bags; two full, beaded buffalo robes; a trade cloth with beaded blanket strip; and a robe with an animal figure. The other side likely relates to the grooms family, who were ranchers. Two cowboys, possibly relatives, rope cattle, illustrating the grooms familys wealth and his ability to provide for the bride.
