Description
"Schiffsfigur auf einem Felsen bei Kap Agulhas, die Südspitze von Afrika." ("Figurehead on a rock near Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point of Africa."). The carved figurehead is made of wood and appears to be the representation of a person. The face is pointing in the photographer's direction. The figurehead is situated on a rock above the other buildings in this picture. These other buildings are mainly one-storied houses. In the background mountains, the houses are built in a valley.
On the left a white spot on the photo where it is faded.
