Scope and Contents
"The kiva seen in the foreground is the Snake kiva, from which the priests are just issuing to leave the village for a snake hunt. [In T1032 the priests appear to be issuing for the snake dance. Below in left the Antelope Fraternity members await await the Snake dancers at the kisi] To the left of the plate, in front of the one-story, house [which does not appear in T1032] is the place where the snake dance takes place [the members of the Antelope Fraternity are exactly at this place in T1032]." The kiva north west of the Snake kiva is the Marau kiva; in the plaza are also kivas of the Honani, where the Powamu ceremonials are performed, and the Blue Flute kiva.

Bibliography
Identified from plate CLVI in FMAS, Pub. 83, Number 4, "The Oraibi Summer Snake Ceremony" by H. R. Voth (1903). In plate CLVI the snake priests are in different costumes (less elaborate) and none of the spectators which appear in T1032 are in plate CLVI. However, the buildings, construction of the kiva, etc. are identical in T1032 and plate CLVI.
