48 Adult female and her calf run from left to right across the page. The adult is outlined and fully colored, with detailing of ears, split hooves, dew claws, and tail. The eye is an unpigmented circle that contrasts with the hide. The front legs are down, indicating motion. The head and neck extend and lift upward. Between her legs, in the same composition as the female buffalo and calves in this ledger, is a small calf. The calf is clearly between its mother's legs. The calf is mostly an outlined shape with no coloring, except for darker fur around its head and neck. Its ears, split hooves, and tail are detailed. It has no eyes. This drawing is almost identical to the sequence of other female elk with calves in this ledger: plates 25-31. Minor variations do occur. For further information about this sequence of female elk and claves, see plate 25; for more about elk, see plate 19 notes. For further discussion buffalo and calves, see plate 11.
49 A warrior rides a blue horse across the page from right to left. He wears a single-trail eagle feather headdress, with twenty-five visible immature golden eagle feathers attached to red trade cloth edging. He wears a dark trade-cloth shirt (pencil) with blue sleeves, accented by German silver arm bands above each elbow. A blue blanket is around his waist. His leggings have a beaded strip of the jagged black-and-white Sacred Mountain design see in plates 13, 17, 26, 29, as well as many of the COURTING scenes (see references and discussion for plate 13). His blue trade cloth breech clout with undyed selvedge edges is visible against the horse. His left hand is empty, and his right hand holds a saber with two streamers (see discussion, plate 13).
The warrior is mounted on a blue horse. The horse's tail is tied up with a red trade cloth. This man, wearing almost identical headdress or a trailing German silver hairplate, appears repeatedly in this ledger, seventeen times, and most likely this is the same man or a close comrade (Plates 9, 10, 13-17, 26-35).
