| General Notes | An outside photograph of a Native American woman sitting in front of an unadorned blanket backdrop that is hung on a wooden frame. She has been identified as Ruth Coyote, is dressed in regalia, and is sitting on a stool or chair over which has been draped a Pendleton blanket. On her head is a cornhusk hat with a v-shaped geometrical design. Her hair is in braids, tipped with fur wraps. She is wearing large, circular earrings and a neck choker with long decorative bead strands hanging down the front. She is dressed in an old-style, deer-tail, beaded buckskin dress. The dress has a highly decorative bodice with fringe at the sleeve ends, side seams, and hemline. She has bracelets on both of her wrists; her left wrist has two wide-band (possibly metal) bracelets and her right wrist exhibits approximately eight smaller ones. On her lap she holds a cornhusk bag with a geometric design. Visible under her skirt can be seen either leggings, cuffed with a beaded floral design, or moccasins with a beaded floral design. To the right of the backdrop is a wooden walkway. |
