Object description:

Photo (scan from slide). After death, the bodies of the dead cows are left for the vultures on the river bank. The thick skin is cut by a human so that the birds have access to the entrails. After the vultures have cleaned the bones and skin, the human takes the skin of the animal, which is later made into shoes, etc. The photo shows the dog and the vultures, and in the background, people dealing with skin processing are visible.
