Photograph of Hopi Snake Dance Ceremony at its height and a huge crowd of onlookers, Oraibi, Arizona, ca.1898. They have long hair. They wear armbands and necklaces. Their upper torsos are naked. They wear short patterned skirts and moccasins and the antelope priests wear long furry animal tails. They are lined up in front of the snake kiva or kisi. Several of the snake priests hold the head of a snake in their mouths. Numerous onlookers are spectating from atop the pueblo in the background as well as on the ground. One of them shades herself with black umbrella.

该照片拍摄于约1898年的亚利桑那州奥拉比（Oraibi），记录了霍皮族（Hopi）蛇舞仪式的鼎盛场景与海量围观人群。参与者均留长发，佩戴臂环与项链，上身赤裸，身着带纹饰的短裙并脚穿莫卡辛鞋（moccasin）；其中羚羊祭司还佩戴了修长的毛绒兽尾。众人在蛇仪式基瓦（snake kiva）或基西（kisi）前排成整齐队列，数位蛇祭司将蛇头衔于口中。背景中，普韦布洛（pueblo）村落的屋顶与地面上均站满了围观民众，其中一名女性正用黑色遮阳伞遮挡阳光。
