A young Native girl in a traditional dress parka of dark fur with white ruff stands at left foreground beside a table with two very different fabric tablecloths or blankets. Sitting on top of the table coverings are six fur-clad Native dolls about twelve inches tall. Several other small items lie on the table, including several metal (likely copper) plates or shallow dishes. Hanging behind the girl and near foreground table is a wide variety of knitted, crocheted and sewn items of clothing. A large decorative Afghan hangs behind the girl with a sign showing that it is intended to be raffled off.
