DescriptionTwo male mannequins wearing boots, shorts, and shirts are posed in front of a painted backdrop depicting tree trunks. The man at the left is wearing a pith helmet and is holding out his left hand in a sign to stop. The man at the right is wearing a coonskin cap. He holds a burlap bag and a rifle in one hand and a stuffed toy rabbit in the other hand. A pot hands from a tripod over a stack of logs in the right background. A booth constructed of reeds and straw is in the left background. Artificial palm trees are at left and right. A large blank sign is on an easel.
