Another shot of Barbara Halpern in ethnic costume (see also mufs001-xn-i0980). Field notes read: "A chain of beads goes under the braids behind the ears and is hooked into the hair under the kerchief. Then comes the white kerchief, trimmed with tiny beads and knotted pirate style over the head. Thus decked out I was put out in the sun like the patties to be photographed. This attracted plenty of attention as you can imagine and soon many women and girls were running into fixing themselves up to be photographed."
