Description: A young Native American woman identified as Nellie Parr, a Walla Walla woman, sits in a room in front of a backdrop made of a plain blanket draped over a rack. On the walls behind and to the right hang a jumble of feathered headdresses, tomahawks, and other items; it appears she is in a photographer's studio. The woman wears beaded moccasins on her feet, which are resting on a small coiled cedar root mat. She wears leggings and a beaded buckskin dress, with beads in the fringe at calves, thighs, and arms. On her arms are metal bracelets, and around her neck are hung a number of necklaces including two that seem to be made of animal claws, long strings of beads, and a necklace with a medal. She wears a cornhusk basket hat with geometric designs and feathers on one side over her braided hair. She holds a bow and arrows with her right hand; the bottom of the bow rests on the mat. Her left hand is closed over the handle of a bag. Covering the object on which she sits is a blanket with bold geometric designs. A striped blanket can be seen tossed over something in the bottom right of the photograph., [Nellie Parr, Walla Walla woman, wearing beaded buckskin dress, leggings, moccasins, cornhusk hat, necklaces.
