English: Luzi - Papago (The North American Indian; v.02)
CREATOR
Curtis, Edward S., 1868-1952.
SUMMARY
Description by Edward S. Curtis: The Papago women always carry their burdens on, or supported from, their heads. When the burden - be it a basket, pottery, or a box - has a flat or a rounded bottom, the ring of the woven yucca is placed on the head in order to give the load a firm position for carrying, and to relieve the bearer of pressure.
