This prisoner, with his two dogs, wears the headdress of the prairie wolf order of warriors. The only other things he wears are a loincloth and strange ear ornaments: his gold jewellery has been replaced with examples made of rope. The rest of his clothes have been removed. He is calm and collected in the face of his impending decapitation.
