Descriptions
Object Description Written on board: Navajo; Arizona. Nez Samalle + Attayzzie Samalle. "Nez Sammale and Baby Daughter Attayzzie" Wonderful type of face, so Navajo. All women - á la Biblical times - walk behind her man. One of the finest faces of resigned patience I have ever drawn. Cradle a perfect example. Drawn at Cameron, 1939.
