Framed, matted, and signed street portrait sketch. Artist name unclear. Uncertain of the medium. The overall effect of the portrait is warm and soft, with a light brown tool used primarily and a white one for highlights. A detailed sketch of a young, Black women’s face, neck, and shoulders. The young women isn’t smiling, rather she appears composed and prettified with perhaps an impassive gaze.

Framed matted tie-dyed textile by Ifé Franklin. Early work. Untitled. The textile appears to be a deep,indigo blue-dyed piece of thick cotton fabric with an assortment of white images, created by the tie-dye technique, crowding most of the fabric. The image appears, perhaps, as if someone is looking at a body of water with different objects and beings floating on its surface. At the top along the border are six squares tilted on a corner. They are blurred so they appear like flaming circles. There are five of them in a row near the right corner, and one that floats far away, cut off in the left corner. There are a few tiny seed pod-like shapes floating on the left side, patterned delicately in small lines and squiggles of whiteness. There’s one big almost crescent-shaped seed pod-like image ribbed in rows of white squiggles. Floating on the right are a series of broken twig branch pieces ribbed in small white squiggles. In the center, there’s a square within a square composed of small white dots. Below it, to the left, is a spider web-like shape made up of white squares within squares tilted on their point.

Framed print of a painting by Oklahoma Native Artist Jeanne Rorex Bridges titled “Harvest Visit”, part of the “Sister Series”. The print depicts two women amongst corn stalks. One, a Black women, is in side view seated on the ground shucking and shelling an ear of corn between her legs. She’s barefooted, wears a striped pink head wrap, hoop earrings, a blue blouse, and a long red skirt. The other woman, Native American, stands facing the viewer with a basket of corn husks. Her hair is straight, black, and pulled off of her face. She wears a polka-dotted, light pink blouse, and a long blue skirt that basically covers her feet. Perhaps the time of day is dawn. Behind them in the sky is a big darkened sun.

Framed matted photograph won at a charity auction. Anonymous donor provided limited information. Photographer unknown. Subject unknown. Presumed to be a Native American (more specifically of Blackfoot tribe) man. This black & white photograph (with light golden brown hue) depicts in side view a Native American man (assumed Native American due to his regalia) mounted, with gun, on horse. His face, the face of his horse, and the gun in his hand are pointed straight ahead. He wears a big and long war bonnet, whose ends trail down the belly of the horse. Its feathers are mostly white, tinged at the ends by a dark color. Part of his “pants” or laid along the length of them is a patterned (assumed beaded) sash that is mostly white. Hanging off the neck of the horse hangs another beaded sash comprised mostly of a darker color. The warrior stands in a clearing with some brush and greenery at his back.

Photograph of glass-mounted graphic print by Cagen Luse (the title forgotten) based on the 1937 Depression-Era photograph by Arthur Rothstein. The print shows a Black girl (perhaps pre-adolescent) looking out a window-like opening (no frame or glass) of what appears to be a brown shack. She wears a blue shirt, and her hair is parted into a few box sections and plaited.

Framed and matted collage print of Ekua Holmes’ “Daddy’s Girls.” In the center of the piece a black woman, with her head aside and back to the viewer, hangs a sheet of laundry on a clothing line full of other pieces of laundry. She is against a background composed of green grass, blue picket fence, and outline of a red-patterned house. She is dressed in a yellow plaid tank and skirt with hoop gold earrings, and an orange bandana on her head. At her back on one side is the profile of a little girl holding an orange, yellow hoop and wearing a flower-patterned dress. Grabbing her other side is a younger girl, partially hiding, wearing a yellow dress. Both girls wear yellow ball hair ties in their hair.
