A horizontally oriented photogravure in sepia tones depicts an older Blackfoot person with light skin tone kneeling and facing our right. They wear a geometric patterned headwrap and a dark shirt with small light dots. The figure bends low, gripping a long-handled tool with both hands to work on a hide spread across the ground. Long, light-colored hair falls forward. The surrounding ground and background are textured and muted.
