On heavy white paper with feathered edges, a black and white photograph with the background trimmed away, is printed in blank space. The photo, at upper center, shows a woven basket, seen from below, its left side tilted up slightly. Blank space in the shape of a woman’s head cuts into the basket from below. An embossed outline in blank space continues the shape of the woman, who is balancing the basket on her head. Below her, at bottom center, printed in small aqua blue type are the words, “UNSPOILED/ UNCOMMON/ UNPRETENCIOUS” the last word a misspelling of “unpretentious”.
