Description
"Baziya. Utabeliza. Die Mehrzahl der Dorffrauen sorgen für Unterhaltung. Kinder sind immer in der Nähe und warten auf ihren Anteil, der für sie abfällt" ("Baziya. Utabeliza. The majority of the village women are arranging amusement. Children are always nearby and waiting for their share which will drop off for them"). Three children in the front, two of them sitting, the other one lying on the ground. A stick is lying beside them. Behind them women sitting and standing next to and around a cooking area. On the left a hut.
