Description
Photograph of women workers making decorative basket covers, ca.1935. To the right, two women wearing matching uniforms can be seen sitting in wooden chairs beside a wooden table. Each of the women wear a short-sleeved, plain blouse, and a long white skirt. The woman in the foreground can be seen wearing a darkly-colored belt around her waist as well. Additionally, each woman wears a small lightly-colored hat with a large patch missing on both the left and right side. The woman in the background clutches a pair of scissors with one hand and a small box with the other. The woman in the foreground arranges a group of fake leaves and nuts in her hand. A small woven basket with leaves and nuts on its top can be seen next to the woman. Also, other containers can be seen scattered on the table. To the left, two more women wearing identical uniforms to the other two women can be seen. The women stand by two large tables covered with finished, decorative baskets. The woman on the right holds one of these baskets in her hand and adjusts the decoration on top. In the background behind these women, cloth can be seen partially covering a group of shelves. Above the shelves, several small boxes are seen stacked in a random fashion. In the extreme background to the left, three more women in uniform can be seen.
