Content and context

202 x 151 mm. Showing a Zulu girl having her hair dressed by a group of women. The caption continues: 'The women help each other in the elaborate styles. These are all married women, and they twist their short curly hair into strands of wool and cotton mixed with fat and dark red ochre, the whole being fixed firmly. These styles last about seven years! One woman has a small dancing shield. They are obviously preparing for a dance or feast.
