September Girl comes bearing Breadfruit


Talking of Breadfruit, here's my September girl poised on a classic wooden Seychelles ladder under a Breadfruit tree, bearing a Breadfruit in her right hand and a "kapatya" in her left hand.

A kapatya is a clever useful bag made by weaving green coconut leaves, the handle of which is made from thick strands of the central part of the palm leaf, and was traditionally used on the islands for carrying fish, vegetables and coconuts.
