The lower levels of a wattle frame structure being built on the grounds of the Banda Cultural Centre have been daubed. The edges of the pads of daub that have been added are visible in some places, as are finger marks where the pads have been smoothed. A larger area of the frame has been daubed from the inside, with raffia stick slats still visible to the right on the outside. Banda-Ahenkro, Banda District, Ghana.
