A horizontally oriented lithograph depicts eight figures with medium-dark skin tones on a sandy plain. Left, a woman sits beside a jar on a hieroglyph-carved stone. Centrally, women wear fringed skirts or white tunics; one holds a shallow tray while three balance tall jars on their heads. Right, two women in long white robes stand before two children. Faint hills mark the background. Text below reads NUBIAN WOMEN AT KORTI.
