Description
Photographic portrait of a Native American child wrapped in a papoose, [s.d.]. The papoose is pictured at center, the baby's face small and hooded by the bundle's top cover. Cloth has been folded-up around the child, and then the wrap appears to be secured to the back framework via what appears to be laced doeskin. A chair covered in by a floral-patterned blanket holds the papoose upright.
