content: Original caption reads, "South African Museum, Cape town. Life-casts of Natives. Bushwomen of the Auen tribe, making ostrich eggshell beads. Border of Kalahari, South West Africa. One woman shapes the pieces roughly with her teeth and a little stone anvil; the other drills them, strings them and rubs them down to uniform size."
