About this work

A woman sits on the floor, shaping clay into a pot with her hands. She wears a patterned dress and a shawl, and her hair is pulled back. The room is simple—dirt floors, a low stool, and a bowl on the ground. This photo was taken in 1905 as part of a larger project about Native American life. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this image in person.
