Description: These Indian women, nude from the waist up, show extensive tatooing on their faces and torsos. I like the way one of the woman has her foot touching affectionately over the foot of another woman just for reassurance. Obviously made for cabinet cards, but this is on a partial album board and is in the larger uncut size. A nicer print than usually seen with these images. Shipping and insurance costs will be added to the price and must be paid for by the buyer. Pennsylvania and New York buyers must pay appropriate sales tax. International clients are responsible for their VAT and other custom's oriented charges.
