Provenance
This photo was taken in 1919 by Alfred Martin Duggan-Cronin: "Notice the half-squinting expression, possibly the result of sun-glare. Her face is very typical of the older woman among these people. The kaross is Chuana, but the rest of her attrire, including the gaily coloured duku (from the Dutch "doek," cloth) is store-bought."
