Four Wives
Four young women, one holding an infant, are posing sitting on a rug on the ground, inside the corner of two walls. Identified by the photographer only as "four wives", they are wearing traditional dress, multiple bracelets, and head scarves. Most of the women have facial and forearm tattoos. A pair of shoes have been placed near edge of the the rug at lower left. |
