A square black-and-white photograph depicts an older woman with light skin tone from the waist up. She faces slightly right with an open mouth and furrowed brow. Curly white hair is topped by a jeweled tiara, and she wears a sleeveless dress with intricate beadwork. A large pendant necklace and floral bracelet adorn her. Her left hand is raised near her face with fingers splayed. Figures are lost in the dark background.
