Description
Photograph of two women using a well labeled "Zanja", [s.d.]. The woman at left has long, braided hair and an intricately-embroidered skirt. She sits on the edge of the well holding a basin and looking towards the right foreground. The woman at right wears a two-toned skirt, an intricately-embroidered shirt and her hair is tied in bows. She also sits along the edge of the well as she dips a basin in the water and looks towards the left foreground. Behind them the well has a fountain with several levels at its center. A third woman sits in the shade of a small awning in the background.
