Women plastering the floor of a coursed earth atakpame structure

Three elder women collaborate to plaster the floor of a wattle-and-daub house built on the grounds of the Banda Cultural Centre. One kneels, one sits on the ground and the other stands, bent at her waist. A metal bucket containing the plaster mix sits on the unplastered portion of the floor behind them. A builder stands in the doorway holding a T-shaped wooden tamper that was used to consolidate the flooring before plastering. The women plastered the room's interior walls before starting work on the floor. Banda-Ahenkro, Banda District, Ghana.
