Photograph showing two women squatting on the floor of a hut. One woman is carrying a child on her back in a bead work bag (called an 'avat') while the other is working on beading, laid out on the floor.
The decoration on the beadwork 'avat' is typical of that used to indicate aristocratic birth. Decoration includes the conch shell discs along the side of the bag and the design of a dragon on the centre panel of the bag.'Kenyah beadworker at Long Jawi in the Ulu Balui' by Hedda Morrison,Circa 1966.
