Calamity Jane, wife of Flochner Roman [Béla Kelényi's definition]. In a light-colored dress decorated with pearl embroidery, moccasins, and a headband, she holds a rattle in one hand, and her other hand rests on a memorial stone with the writing facing down, on which two names are written. Next to the stone is a rifle, a drum, and behind it a cattle skull. In the background, in front of the bushes, is a teepee tent.
