Subject: |
Two children in a garden,
wearing traditional dress
and a topknot called
juk
or
molih.
The girl (on the right) is holding a
basket, while the boy (on the left) is playing
mah kahn kluay,
a traditional children's game from the past, in which a
banana
stem is carried over the shoulder with
a string and held between the legs, as if straddling an
imaginary horse. |
