A Native American elder woman works a wide coiled basket, holding it up to inspect the geometric woven pattern. She wears a turquoise blouse with fringed sleeves over a long brown buckskin skirt with fringe and beadwork, high moccasin boots, and beaded necklaces, her graying hair tied back. A low stone bench sits behind her.

This dignified craftsperson vignette suits Southwestern, frontier and living-history dioramas. Place her at a village, trading-post or pueblo scene on a diorama or model railroad layout to portray traditional basket-making and daily craft life.
