DescriptionTwo figures face each other, separated by a rift on the ground. The figure on the right looks to be dressed like a cowboy and is mounted on a horse while pointing a gun at the other figure, who seems to wear only a gown and holds their arms out. The piece is overlaid with puzzle pieces that make images of other animals and people, along with other objects that depict animals and people.
