Provenance
This photo was taken in 1919 in Molepolole by Alfred Martin Duggan-Cronin: "A Kwena kaross maker at Molepole, wearing a kaross (kobò) and skin cap (puane). His name signifies "boy of hunger," from which we may infer that he was born during or soon after one of the seasons of drought that sometimes afflict Bechuanaland."
