Description
"Mbozi. Das Dreschen von Weizen auf dem Hof. Nähmaschine." ("Mbozi. Threshing of wheat in the yard. Sewing machine."). Three women in a yard threshing wheat placed on mats. More women and men are sitting behind troughs farther back to the right. A man and a woman are sitting next to a sewing machine to the left, in front of the porch of a tile-roofed house next to which a long, window-less brick building and a small brick hut are standing. Trees and bushes in the background on the right.
Two black lines have been drawn from left to right and from top to bottom in order to narrow down the size of the picture. The ground of the yard has been partly retouched with grey paint.
