Description

A young woman standing on two blocks of wood next to an outside wall of an unfinished Mbari house decorated with geometric patterns. She is turning to look at the camera. In her right hand she holds a small bowl of paint and in her right a brush or pad to apply to paint. Under the eaves of the thatched building there are two clay Mammywater female figures sitting on benches. Their arms are raised to shoulder height. [PB 15/12/2022]
