I photographed this striking looking woman during a trip to the remote region of Dolpa in Nepal in 2012. She’s carrying a bamboo rice pan for winnowing on her head. The fur is from a Yak, but why she has it on the rice pan I'm not sure. Could it be to keep her hands warm while she is winnowing? Or to keep her head warm while she carries the rice pan? Or perhaps it's simply for decoration. I wish I'd asked her but I was too busy capturing the moment.
