A vertical photogravure in sepia tones depicts a Papago woman with medium-dark skin tone facing right. Looking upward, she uses a long stick to harvest buds from a large cactus. She holds a patterned woven basket against her hip and wears a ruffled blouse, long skirt, headscarf, and necklace. Fine grain and soft lighting characterize the print. Text in the bottom margin reads "GATHERING HÁNAMH - PAPAGO."
