| General Notes | A young Cayuse woman named Ku-mas-sag sits outdoors in autumn or winter on a striped woolen blanket laid on the leaf-strewn ground. Her long hair is braided and she wears a hat shaped like a truncated cone with beading or quilling on it in a geometric design; a western-style women's broadbrimmed hat with scarf and feather accessorizing it lies on the blanket at her side. One foot is outstretched, showing a legging with a floral design. She appears to be holding a buckskin purse or bag which, like her dress, is fringed. She wears a cloth long-sleeved under-shirt, belt, bracelets, and earrings, and around her neck appears to be a choker-style necklace or fastening for the short cape that covers her shoulders. The cape and top of her dress have beading or quilling in geometric block designs.

| TCI Notes | An outside photograph of a woman in her regalia sitting on a blanket on the ground. She has been identified as her English name as Agnes Redhawk Davis Dixon McKay. Ku-mas-sag has been identified as her Indian name. She is wearing an old style deer tail buckskin dress that is beaded, cornhusk hat, beaded leather belt, and beaded legging with a floral design. She is sitting on a wool blanket that is spread out on the ground so she can sit on it. She has her left leg under her right leg so you cannot see her left foot. Next to her right foot is a cowboy hat with a scarf around the hat, in the scarf on the left side of the hat is plumes from an eagle. In the background is brush with leaves on the ground all around her.
