Miniature village scene representing three figures. Two females are wearing skirts, one of which has a child on her back, and both of which are holding long wooden pestles, and have wooden mortars in front of them. These two women stand on one platform. A third figure is reclining on a separate platform nailed to the main base with this figure holding a child. Figures are all made with copper wire then wrapped into the shape with grasses, and nailed onto plain rectangular base.
