There is a tear in the dress behind her right shoulder. Her graying hair hangs in front of her in skinny braids, and she wears a long necklace of large, rounded, dark and light beads. On her left knee she holds an openwork basket that has a zigzag design and possibly beading and a hank of wool or twine wrapped around its handle.
