Description

Two women in headscarves and long dark or light garments stand at the edge of a raised heap of loose excavated earth. Each holds or stands beside a metal bucket, and a rope runs from one bucket up toward the other woman. Behind them lies a ploughed field, a row of trees and distant hills under a pale sky.
