Provenance
This photo was taken in 1919 in Kanye by Alfred Martin Duggan-Cronin: "The beginnings of the old circular type of hut are shown on the left. In the old days, the men cut the poles for the rafters, central pole and veranda-poles, and built and put on the roof. The women built the walls, thatched the roof and attended to all the other details of finishing-off, including the decoration of the walls. Nowadays, as here, the men often help in all the processes.
