undifferentiated people from group - Description:
- Two double-outrigger canoes with cargo are floating on a shallow placid river. They seem to be attached to each other. A man on a raft is pushing it with a long wooden stick. The canoes with cargo are presumably moving towards the steps along the shore which lead towards a house. Three men on the steps are transferring cargo. There is a wooden bridge crossing the river. In the foreground are rafts and buckets partly submerged in the water.
