Text from the accompanying booklet: This young Coolie woman has just filled her vessels at the well, the water having been raised in the skins as shown in No.13. The rush of water shows that the skins have just been emptied, and the girl has taken the opportunity of filling her vessels. The weight these women carry on their heads is quite considerable. Their graceful carriage is perhaps due to this weight-carrying and balancing, as the hands are only now and again put up to steady the weight.
