Banana Leaf Blessing 1 - Image Index | Yenra Two Women Engaged in Traditional Activity: In this photograph, two women are engaged in a traditional activity, surrounded by an assortment of wicker baskets and bundles of long green leaves that resemble those found on palm trees. The woman seated to the right wears a patterned dress and grey flip-flops, with her dark brown skin glistening slightly in the light. She has short black hair and is leaning forward slightly as she gazes down at the long green leaves laid out before her. Her left hand rests gently on top of them while her right hand reaches into one of the baskets to pick up a handful of thin plant stems that appear to be similar to those in the other baskets. The woman seated to the left is dressed in an intricately patterned dress with black, brown, and beige hues, complementing the natural colors found throughout this setting. She has her head bent forward as she gathers the long green leaves and plant stems into a wicker basket on the floor by her feet. Her eyes are closed as if she is concentrating deeply on her work. In the background of this image stands an older woman dressed in a brown shirt with matching brown pants, wearing white hair that sits atop her head like snow. Behind them lies what appears to be a doorway leading outside from within this interior space - though whether into another room or out onto a patio cannot be seen clearly here due to shadows cast across it by nearby objects.
