A woman in an apron is seated in a workshop. She props up a carved marionette puppet that sits on a work bench.
Six women in flowing, brightly patterned dresses wade in a river. They move in a procession. Several women hoist a white upholstered chair over their shoulders, and a smiling woman balances a basket on her head.
A female figure sculpted in red clay. The figure is set against a red and white circular background.
