content: From card: "Made by a Zuni boy twelve years of age for Mrs. Stevenson in 1879. Until within the past few years this is the only specimen of Navajo wearing that Mrs. Stevenson has found among the Zuni. The design was carried entirely in the head, the boy having no pattern before him and it is his first attempt at such weaving. How did the boy acquire the art? No fringe, tassels at the four corners. Red ground designs in yellow, green, blue, white and mauve."
