Description

Men sitting on logs in the cool of the afternoon. The man in the foreground wears a shell necklace, holds onto a broom for keeping mosquitoes away from him. He is smiling, revealing teeth darkened with continual chewing of betelnut. A man on the other log (in the background) also has a mosquito broom with him [Andrew Moutu 20/02/04].
