Watercolour of caryatid IX, showing front, side and back views.

Three views, all same scale, from left to right: right side, front, back. Caryatid (properly called Atlantid) wears a white shell? and jade headdress, with jade armlets, ear plugs and necklace, with pink loincloth and legbands. Back view shows the feather cloak with long green feathers, and neckband of short red and yellow feathers. Side view shows feathers of cloak curving around to the side, and leather sandals are more obvious than in other views.

Transparent and opaque watercolour and graphite on medium weight, slightly textured, wove paper
