This is a "beehive" hut being repaired -- actually rebuilt -- on the grounds of the Swaziland National Museum. These Swazi women make use of reeds, which are twisted and braided through to the otherside. There are actually two people on the inside, helping with the work. This has to be done every year due to weathering.
