This item is a sepia photographic print mounted on card depicting two women with their faces whitened with ash standing over a grave. Handwritten annotations made by Sanders on the reverse side indicate the two standing women are in mourning for an Australian Aboriginal woman who died in 1903, and the photograph was taken in the Ashburton region of Western Australia.

This photograph was allocated the number AP5126 when it was first registered in the South Australian Museum (SAM) collection. It was presented to SAM by WB Sanders on 29 March 1951.
