Hopi girls at grinding stones, location unidentified — Keystone View Company

Hand-colored stereoscopic photograph on a gray mount, showing two girls with their hands on grinding stones in adjoining, low-sided compartments. Their patterned shawls are colored purple and yellow, and both wear long necklaces with crescent-shaped pendants. Their hair is arranged in broad whorls on either side of the head.

A third figure sits at the right with knees raised and hands clasped. A shallow dish of kernels and a large gourd vessel occupy the foreground. Pottery lines an overhead shelf; ears of corn hang beneath it, alongside small painted figures. Textiles and long skeins of yarn fill the upper right of the room.

The printed caption reads “V23185—Hopi Indian Girls—Showing Peculiar Method of Dressing the Hair.” It identifies the girls as Hopi but supplies neither their names nor the location of the interior. No date is given.

Published by Keystone View Company, with the separate imprint “Copyrighted Underwood & Underwood.” The publisher’s office cities appear along the right margin, but none is identified as the place photographed. The additional code “C6” is printed between the images at the top. The reverse is blank, with no corresponding number, caption, or ownership inscription.
