A vertically oriented sepia-toned photogravure depicts a figure with straight dark hair and bangs standing center, facing us. They wear a dark sleeveless garment, multiple necklaces, and tall light-colored boots. Their left arm is raised to grasp a leafy branch from a tree that curves from a textured earthen wall. A large, patterned ceramic bowl sits on the sandy ground at their feet, with trees lining the distant horizon.
