According to the note from Mr. Price on the back "Clown & Mountain. The clown is dressed for a nine days ceremony. He also aids in healing he sick. He is dancing in the Monument Valley area. Sands are natural colored rocks (grounded)". Navajo sand paintings, also called dry paintings, are called "places where the gods come and go" in the Navajo language. They are used in curing ceremonies in which the gods' help is requested for harvests and healing.
