Description

On Catalogue Card: "Woman with basket. N. Congo."

This is the incorrect card for this image; the card should read:
On Catalogue Card: "Bapoto. Woman suckling child, N. Congo. Child’s head bound. Woman wearing ostrich-shell bead necklace." [JD 6/23/2014]

The band around the woman's head is probably the strap for a back-carrier. [Information provided by the Great Lakes Initiative project team, JD 4/6/2016]
