Silver print
14 × 10 3/4" (35.56 × 27.31 cm)
Provenance: Private collection, Phoenix, Arizona
This silver print by Frederic Allen Williams depicts a Navajo woman wearing a concho belt, layered necklaces, bracelets, and traditional dress. The outdoor setting and close framing give the portrait a direct visual presence while keeping attention on the sitter's clothing and adornment. The photograph belongs to the early twentieth-century record of Navajo portraiture in the Southwest.
The concho belt is a central visual element, shown with large silver ornaments across the waist. The sitter's jewelry and dress are presented clearly, making the image especially relevant within the history of Navajo adornment and photographic representation. The print is in collector condition with private Phoenix provenance.
