Description
Photograph of an Apache Indian woman basket maker with a child, Palomas, Apache Indian Reservation, ca.1900. The small barefoot child wears a large plaid dress and lays across the woman's left thigh. The woman crouches on the ground with her right arm resting on her right knee raising her right hand to her mouth. Her short greying hair is windblown. Three large baskets sit around her -- two large shallow platters and one shaped-like a jug. All three bear intricate designs. Behind her part of a wagon and part of a dwelling are visible.
