Luzi - papago (the north american indian; v. 02)
creator
curtis, edward s. , 1868-1952. Summary
description by edward s. Curtis: the papago women always carry their burdens on, or supported from, their heads. When the burden - be it a basket, pottery, or a box - has a flat or a rounded bottom, the ring of the woven yucca is placed on the head in order to give the load a firm position for carrying, and to relieve the bearer of pressure.
