A vertically oriented, sepia-toned photogravure depicts a Jicarilla woman with a medium skin tone, facing us directly. Her dark hair is parted in the center and gathered into thick braids low on either side. She has a furrowed brow and a neutral expression. She wears a textured hide garment layered with numerous beaded necklaces and a large, circular shell pendant. Text in the lower corner to our left reads "JICARILLA MATRON."
