Source catalog description
This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.
Digital chromogenic color print of two models wearing necklaces created by Joyce J. Scott. Taken outside near the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts during the 1974 annual summer session, the two models sit in front of large rocks. On the left, Raylene Chang sits with her back to the camera and looks to the right while an unknown model on the right sits facing the camera and looks to the left. Both are captured from the waist up. Chang has a blue colored fabric wrapped around her waist, exposing her bare back. The necklace she models hangs down her back, with a human-figure pendant. The model on the right is bare-chested and the necklace hangs down with a large human-figure pendant between her breasts. There are no inscriptions on the front or back of the photograph.
