Named Person: Although the catalogue card names the woman as Chiquito’s wife, this image does not match the portrait of Chiquito and his wife held at the National Anthropological Archive, Smithsonian. Instead this portrait is the same as portrait at the National Anthropological Archive, Smithsonian, named as being the ‘Apache wife of Eskinilay’. [JD 11/4/2007]
