Photograph of Mertie West sitting on rock and looking into a small mirror propped up on the rock. Mertie sits center and faces towards the left. She hunches over slightly to look into a mirror that sits upon the rock. It looks as though she holds thread between her hands, possibly to fix the turban she wears on her head. She is surrounded by wilderness that stretches into the distance.
