Description
Photograph of two Mojave Indian women playing a game (fortune-telling with bones?), ca.1900. They both kneel outside on the ground with their backs to an adobe wall. The one on the left, wearing a brightly patterned cloth around her shoulders, a plaid shirt, and a long dotted skirt, holds her arms, hands open, out to her sides. The one on the right, wearing a striped button-up shirt, and a long plain dress, grasps something with her left hand at her side. A cloth sits crumpled in her lap. Sticks are visible as reinforcement in the mud wall.
