Three elder women collaborate as they plaster the walls of a wattle-and-daub structure built on the grounds of the Banda Cultural Centre. One woman holds a bowl of plaster mix as the other, standing above, reaches for a handful to plaster the upper interior wall. A third woman stands in the background. The lattice framework of the ceiling can be seen above their heads. Banda-Ahenkro, Banda District, Ghana.
