Description
Photograph of a Navajo Indian maiden on a pony in front of a hogan, ca.1901. She wears a blanket over her shoulder, a dark long-sleeved shirt, belt with large silver discs, skirt, leg wrappings, moccasins, a numerous beads around her neck. Her dark hair is tied back behind her head. The horse is facing partially to the right. Horse and rider cast a shadow toward the about four figures (mostly children) who sit in front of the earthen hogan behind the maiden. Hills rise in the distance beyond the brush dotted prairie.
