This is a photograph of a married Christian woman from the "Kaying [now Meixien] Mission, carrying rice shoots for transplanting." She carries them in large baskets on either side of a pole, balanced on her neck. The house behind her is an example of housing in the area constructed of mud bricks and barred windows.
