Color photograph of a group of members of the Masonic Ladies Oriental Shrine of North America. Sixteen women are arranged in four rows on a set of steps. Most of the women wear peach gowns or dresses with white fezzes with red tassels. The fezzes bear the name of several different LOSNA Courts. The woman in the front is seated in a wheelchair. Four women do not wear a peach gown and one does not have a fez.

The Ladies Oriental Shrine of North America (LOSNA) was founded in 1903. It is not an auxiliary of the Shrine, but its own distinct organization. The Grand Council was organized in 1914. Members must be related to a Master Mason or Shriner by birth, marriage or adoption.
