She is dressed in traditional attire for daily work: a handwoven dress designed to leave the shoulder bare (by 1900 many Hopi women were being encouraged by the government and missionaries to wear a calico slip under the dress so that their arms and shoulders were covered)

2 1/2" x 1 1/2" (plus 1/2" bail)

Bronze 8 1/2"L x 3 1/2"H x 4"D

Cuff size: 6 1/4" with 1" opening
