Portfolio XVII, Plate 612: Waíhusiwa, A Zuñi Kyáqimâssi

Edward S. Curtis

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned portrait of an older man with a head wrap and a cloth covering his mouth and chin. The man's head is tilted slightly to the right, and he looks directly at the camera with a neutral expression. His head wrap is made of a light-colored fabric, possibly cloth or cotton, and is wrapped around his forehead. The cloth covering his mouth and chin appears to be a piece of fabric folded over, possibly a scarf or a piece of clothing. The background of the image is a mottled brown color, with no discernible features. The image has a white border around it, with small text at the bottom.
