A Native American man sits on a wood stool and drills a hole into a bead using another stool as his work table. He uses a long spindle with a needle on the end to pierce the bead. Another stool stands in the foreground. A fireplace is in the background. The man wears a dark scarf tied around his forehead and has several strands of beads around his neck.
