Her dress has a V-neck which is decorated with a striped yoke. The skirt of the dress is decorated with long fringes threaded with beads. She is wearing a necklace and a hat. The kneeling woman is wearing a fringed and beaded leather dress with a cape. She is holding a bow in her left hand. She has a basket hat woven in a geometic design on her head. On the wall behind the women are several artifacts and objects, including: two cradleboards with floral designs, a photograph of a bulldog, a basket with geometric designs, a military cap, a military helmet, two swords, a harness, two bugles, some unidentified gear, belts, two pair of moccasins with floral beading, two bags with floral designs, an unidentified artifact with long fringes, one woven bag with geometric designs, three belts or sashes with geometric designs, an animal pelt, a long feathered headdress, a saddle, a long necklace, a buckskin coat with fringes and some other clothes. There is a poster behind the women with a picture of soldiers and Native Americans on horseback; the number "49" can be seen on it. Small knives and feathers are displayed along the top of the poster.
TCI NotesAn interior photograph of two unidentified white women dressed in regalia. They are wearing beaded buckskin dresses, and Cornhusk hats. The woman on the left side that is standing up is holding a big shield in her left hand and in her right hand is a hatchet style pipe. The woman on the right is kneeing on her right knee and is holding a bow in her left hand. In the background, hanging on the wall behind the two women, is a collection of regalia that Major Moorhouse had collected over the years. Some of these objects have appeared in many of the Moorhouse photographs.
