Description:

A collapsed hut with wicker walls described as a girls' hut. Homesteads normally had three types of hut: that of the household head (we tal mu); that for children and their mothers (we i jalge); a kitchen (we i fek); and a shelter for calves and kids (al i mok). The image shows how the stockade (raok) joined huts together rather than separated them.
