Description:

Description: English: Pima Indian woman, Etta Morgan, making a basket, Arizona, ca.1900 Photograph of a Pima Indian woman, Etta Morgan, making a basket, Arizona, ca.1900. She is sitting on the ground outside with her back leaning against a blanket in front of a small pile of adobe bricks holding a small partially completed basket on her lap. Another shallow basket in front of her holds some of her basket-making material. The bundle of dried dark fibers in the lower right basket are from the plant Proboscidea (Martyniaceae) parviflora or parviflora/hohokamiana, called 'double claw' or 'devil's claw,' indigenous to Arizona. Very strong, they provide the dark fibers for the design in the basket. She wears a long print dress. A hewn timber lays beside the pile of bricks. Call number: CHS-3648 Photographer: Pierce, C.C.
