Description

View of four dugouts on a river with bundles of long pieces of bamboo floating on the shore behind them. A man standing in one dugout canoe pushes against the river bottom with a long bamboo stick (similar to a punt). Another man, with four standing passengers, stands in another dugout canoe pushing along the bottom of the river with his own long stick of bamboo. The riverbanks are steep and covered in grass.
