Reference Code: GBR/0115/RCS/Y3043BB/208

Scope and Contents

62 x 40 mm. A Bororo woman, carrying her child in the usual Bororo position shocks the cloth seller by her valuation of his goods. The argument as to price waxes fast and furious but is all part of the game and the sellers would feel hurt if the buyer paid the original price asked for the goods. The bargaining is part of the fun though to witness it one would think that a fight would develop at any moment.
