Description

Two men assist an older woman as they stand in the shallows of a body of water. The woman, wearing a colorful patterned dress and a red headscarf, is supported by one of the men, who has his hands on her arms. The second man holds a rope. The water is clear near the shore, with some visible rocks, and dark blue further out. The men are dressed in traditional-style clothing. The photograph appears to have been taken during the day under natural light. The shoreline is rocky and somewhat barren.
