A vertically oriented photogravure in warm sepia tones depicts a Zuni woman from the chest up, facing forward. She has a medium skin tone, dark eyes, and a neutral expression. A thick, textured shawl covers her head and shoulders. A large ceramic bowl with jagged, triangular patterns rests on a woven ring atop her head. The print has a soft, grainy texture against a muted background, with printed text along the bottom margin.
