Description:
A woman sits next to a large, lipped clay pot resting on a fire with buor windscreen, stirring the contents (probably millet or maize porridge) with a stirrer.
On her lap is a large gourd vessel, probably containing the flour for the porridge which she is adding.
Beyond her a small child stands by watching the activity.
Tall millet stems growing in a garden surround the courtyard.
