Description

Women and children with baskets and pot on their heads. The meaning of the original record 'Kisio women' is obscure, and may be a variant of a village name in Luo country. These women and children are probably on their way to, or coming from a market. A woman with a bead necklace (tik ngut) appears in the middle. [Gilbert Oteyo 9/9/2004]
