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.

This is a color archival pigment print from a digital file. The photograph depicts a close-up of a woman from the shoulders up with a blurred, dark background during the Puerto Rican Day parade. Her hair is slicked back, and the Puerto Rican flag is draped over her proper left shoulder, with the white star facing forward. The woman wears gold-colored bamboo hoop earrings and a glittered masquerade mask mimicking the Puerto Rican flag. The mask is decorated with three rhinestones and a cluster of five feathers at the top of red, white, and blue. There are no inscriptions on the print, front or back.
