The image shows an arrangement of labeled rocks and a piece of paper with descriptive text and pigment samples. The rocks are numbered from 1 to 12, with varying shapes, sizes, and textures. The paper explains that these stones were collected from the Tuolumne River in Calaveras County, California, and are believed to be pigments used by indigenous people to paint their faces.

The text notes that when the rocks are wet and rubbed with a smooth stone, the colors are revealed, as demonstrated on the paper. Below the explanatory text, there are twelve columns labeled with corresponding numbers. Each column shows a smear of pigment that matches the associated rock, ranging from light beige to reddish-orange tones.

The rocks are organized above and below the paper in a neat arrangement, emphasizing their connection with the pigment samples on the paper.

The image shows a collection of rocks labeled with small pieces of paper numbered 1 through 12. These rocks are displayed above a piece of paper containing printed text and sketches or paint samples corresponding to each rock. The paper reads: "PAINT ROCKS GIVEN BY LANGDON WARNER TO E. T. FORBES FOR THE FOGG MUSEUM PIGMENT COLLECTION IN OCTOBER 1937." The text further explains that Mr. Warner claimed these rocks were found on the Tuolumne River in Calaveras County, California. It is supposed that these rocks were used as pigments by the indigenous people to paint their faces. The paper states that if the rocks are wet and rubbed with a smooth stone, the colors will come out, and these are shown in the samples below.

The rock samples are numbered:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are placed above the paper, with 3 being a particularly small rock.
8 is absent or perhaps not shown in the image.
9, 10, 11, and 12 are placed below the paper.

The samples on the paper show varying colors from the rocks, arranged in a sequence that matches the numbers of the rocks displayed. Some samples show more pronounced colors, while others are faint, representing the pigments the rocks would produce.
