Description
Three Native Americans on horseback at Indian Hills with yuccas in bloom. Another, smaller mosaic of a single Indian on a horse is near the drive-up teller window (added 1982; designed and executed by Denis O'Connor), at the end of the parking lot. Inside the bank is a painting by Sheets (1969, 16 1/2' x 44'), which depicts an early Indian village in the Claremont area, 200-500 years ago, after the arrival of the Spanish.
