Raised Axe above a Kneeling Figure
A standing figure raises a long-handled axe above a kneeling figure who looks upward with joined hands. Flowing garments and the raised weapon give the pair a diagonal movement. Waddell reproduces the Indian scene within his comparative argument. The weapon’s broad head stands out against the open background.
