An elderly Navajo woman sits on a wooden chair threading turquoise beads onto a strand, a bowl of beads in her lap. She wears a rose velvet blouse with silver-and-turquoise jewelry and a long teal skirt, feet resting on a woven rug.

The quiet craft scene suits a Southwest village, market, or trading-post diorama. Set her beside a stall or hogan with pottery and weavings to build an authentic Native American vignette.
