   Clearly photo number four is an example of needling in a haystack.

   What is the pan on the floor for in number six? Surely it can’t be a basin of water to wet the poor girl’s bottom. 😯

     Kaki,

     Apparently that is exactly what it’s for as the woman has a sponge in her hand.

   Thanks girls 🙂

   One of the things about these kinds of pictures is that one can endlessly speculate as to the nuances.

   Like the bowl and the haystack – is the girl preparing for the switch from the farmer or is something else going on?

   The last picture and more especially the second have an authentic feel – almost as if they are real glimpses or at least amateur efforts. 🙂
