Historical photograph of a Hopi girl 'adorned'


Historical photograph of a Hopi girl circa 1902, Arizona, USA
Photo source: Internet

This historic photograph is quality.

I am so in love with her Indigenous adornment' in this image for it shows the traditional Hopi female hairstyle of a young unmarried girl, her clothing and her jewelry.

The earring adornments she wears are traditionally of Hopi origin, they are called Mosaic (style) earrings and are made with shell varieties and a mix of turquoise pieces. She also wears a mix of bead strands and a beautiful silver bead and naja necklace.

What a beautiful photo of a desert ancestor!
