A horizontally oriented photogravure depicts an older Indigenous woman with a medium skin tone seated on the floor, eyes downcast as she weaves a basket in her lap. She wears a dark headscarf and a patterned shawl. Several finished baskets sit nearby. Behind her, large woven mats hang vertically, their textured surfaces creating a backdrop of fine lines and rectangular patterns in muted sepia tones.
