Luzi - Papago (1907)
Photogravure
Portfolio II plate 53
"The Papago women always carry their burdens on, or supported from,
their heads. When the burden, be it basket, pottery, or a box, has
a flat or a rounded bottom, the ring of woven yucca is placed on
the head in order to give the load a firm position for carrying,
and to relieve the bearer of the pressure." -Curtis
