EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Zuni girl with jar," was captured by renowned American ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in the early 1900s. The image depicts a young Zuni woman from New Mexico, United States of America, in the North American continent, proudly balancing a large ceramic jar on her head. Dressed in a traditional blanket, she gazes directly at the camera with a confident and unwavering gaze. The concept of carrying heavy objects on the head was a common practice among various Native American cultures, including the Zuni, for transportation and storage purposes. This photograph is an excellent example of Curtis's ethnographic work, documenting the heritage and traditions of indigenous peoples during the 20th century. The intricately designed pottery jar adds to the visual balance and beauty of the image, making it a significant contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnology. The Library of Congress holds this precious piece of history in its collections, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
