Description

Color: Blue; Brown; White A color polaroid photograph of a floor paver in the Tepee during the structure's restoration, 2 September 1979. The detail is of one paver that appears to have been cut out, cleaned or repaired and put back into place. There are cracks or spaces at the left and top that indicate it was removed and there is a dark line on the left part of the brick. Also, the color is a earth tone unlike the slightly reddish color of the surrounding pavers. At the top right is a corner of a carrier or tool kit with supplies presumably used for work on the floor. At the bottom of the artifact is an ink inscription reading "Teepee Floor-Typical Const. / 9/2/79." There does not appear to be any wear or damage to the artifact, which is in good condition.
