Exterior of a partially daubed wattle frame structure being built on the grounds of the Banda Cultural Centre, its yellow walls seen in the background. One row of daub has been added to the rear wall of the wattle structure. An opening in the frame will serve as a window, while the opening opposite to it will serve as a door. The wattle frame is a lattice of upright wooden posts and horizontal raffia stick slats, lashed together with bark fibre. Banda-Ahenkro, Banda District, Ghana.
