Photograph of a Pima Indian woman sitting on the ground making pottery by an adobe and grass hut, Gila River Reservation(?), ca.1902. The woman can be seen at center wearing a skirt, long-sleeved shirt, and cloth tied around her head. She is facing right, but her head is turned to look straight ahead.
