| Description | The object is a painted wooden figure of a Hopi maiden wearing braids. The piki bread sandwiched between her hands is made of small pieces of red and yellow rolled fabric. The piki sits on a plate with painted decoration on the underside. She wears a painted manta black dress with a belt, a cloak of yellowish fabric drapped across her proper left shoulder, and moccasins. A string to hang the object is looped around the figure's neck with a tag attached. "K272"is inscribed on the base, the ink on the proper right boot is a lot lighter than that of the proper left. |
