About The Lost & Found

Young Navajo woman places her hand on the lamb's back to reassure it of its immediate safety, as a lone coyote howls above.

Historically Navajo women's responsibility often was to care for the family's sheep.

Jerry Lee is especially well regarded for his depiction of campfires.
