Description

Women and children with baskets and pot on their heads (slightly out of focus). The meaning of the original record 'Kisio women' is obscure, and may be a variant of a village name in Luo country. The woman in the centre is wearing wrist rings (minyonge) on both wrists. These women and children are probably on their way to, or coming from a market. [Gilbert Oteyo 9/9/2004]
