Description
Photograph of an Apache Indian woman, or squaw, carrying a "Kathak", or grain basket, on her back, near Fort Bowie, Arizona, ca.1880. The conical basket hangs from a strap slung from the top of the woman's head and hangs to the small of her back. She stands, turned to her left, with her hands together at her waist. She wears a plaid shirt and a striped skirt. Behind her a scraggley tree stands. In the background near the brush, stands the frame of a wood shelter on top of which sit several pieces of pottery. On the ground sit a basin, a box, and several cooking pots.
