A young woman is posed for a portrait. She is wearing beads in her hair, and necklaces. The back of the postcard has a handwritten note in French and includes the caption: "Congo.- Coiffure d'une jeune fille" ("Hair of a girl") and also includes information about the mission agency: "Ligue des Missions Franciscaines Belges. 15, r. Vanderlinden, Bruxelles. Postch. 103.551."
