Description

A portrait of a Luo girl, her arm holding the shoulder of a woman (out of frame) with a child below her elbow, at Gangu village. The village scene is typical with a homestead vegetation fence and banana plants in the background, while a sisal plant is at the bottom right corner. The woman on the left is mostly out of frame but one can see part of her bead necklace (tick ngut) probably of glass beads and a wrist ring (minyonge) on her left wrist. [Gilbert Oteyo 9/9/2004]
