Provenance
This photo was taken in 1919 by the Moshupa river by Alfred Martin Duggan-Cronin: "The women are drawing water from holes dug in the dry bed of the Moshupa river. For this purpose the useful calabash is used as a scoop. Leaves are often placed on top of the water in the pot, to prevent it spilling as a result of the bearer's movement in walking. A great portion of the Chuana woman's time, at least in winter, the dry season, is spent in fetching water, often at a great distance from her home."
