Description
Group portrait of seven African women and girls standing on an open place in a village or compound. All are wearing cloths or animal skin draped around their hips, breasts, or shoulder, respectively. Most of them are wearing many beaded necklaces and chains around their necks and chains or rings in their ears. Some have streched earlobes with large plugs in the holes. Some are wearing bracelets. The two young women standing at the right and left margin of the group are topless and decorative scars on their bellies are visible.
