Two prints of a black and white composite photograph of Lady Saw.
The print depicts two side-by-side images of Lady Saw, wearing a black bra with her hair pulled back in a ponytail. On the left, Saw is posed with her head turned to the left and smiling, her thumbs hooked in the bra and her hands gripping her chest. On the right, her head is tilted to the right and her mouth slightly open, her thumbs hooked in the bra and her fingers splayed outwards.
On the verso of 2015.132.58.1 is a handwritten inscription by Bill Adler reading [Lady Saw, Mid-90's, by Tim Barrow]. The verso of 2015.132.58.2 has a repeating Kodak paper mark.
