| Content and context |
57 x 84 mm. Baffreng woman with her child, she has her head shaved at the sides to show she has conceived and wears the strings in front to show she is suckling a child. The baby girl also has her head shaved as it is taken for granted that as soon as she marries she will also conceive immediately. This is the fervent desire of every girl among the pagans. |
