Description
Photograph of a Buddhist priest and child in front of a religious statue (?), showing the young girl speaking, Chinatown, [s.d.]. The priest stands on the left in what appear to be embroidered, religious robes and a ceremonial hat. He holds a book of Chinese writing above the girl's head as she speaks with her chin up at center. She faces the priest as she speaks while the religious statue depicting a Chinese man with a long beard stands on a large chest behind her.
