This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A digital scan of a photograph depicting “Carolina Gold” rice grains at Turnbridge Plantation. The bunch hangs from a plant that isn’t visible in the photo: only the brown outer hulls and a single leaf are in focus. The rest of the frame consists of out-of-focus plants that appear as light brown and light green hues. Distant trees can be seen at the top of the image, marked by a dark-green color.
