A black-and-white, portrait-oriented photograph captures four members of the Native American rock band Redbone walking down an outdoor staircase, smiling warmly.  The men are lined up side-by-side, dressed in eclectic, 1970s style that blends contemporary rock fashion with traditional Indigenous clothing elements:  The man on the far left wears a fitted, long-sleeved shirt patterned with small crosses across the chest, dark leather trousers accented with highly detailed, embroidered floral patterns on the flared cuffs, and a thick belt with a large buckle.  The second man from the left wears a light-colored vest with fringed edges over a bare chest, accessorized with a choker and a long pendant. He wears matching light-colored trousers heavily decorated with long fringe draping down the sides of the legs.  The third man from the left wears a dark, patterned long-sleeved shirt, layered necklaces, and leather trousers featuring long fringe around the waist and hips.  The man on the far right wears a light-colored, fringed tunic with a patterned belt and matching light-colored trousers.  They are descending dark stairs positioned between a textured brick wall on the left and a smooth, light-colored wall on the right. A metal handrail runs down the left side of the staircase.
