[Traditional Cookers for Making Tripitas #1]

Description

Three copies of a photograph of traditional cookers used for making tripitas. The two cookers are made of metal, with handles and tripod feet, set up on the ground outdoors, and one has a utensil in it for stirring. It appears that the same negative was printed correctly and reversed (backwards) but it is unclear which version is correct. Text above the photos says, "Traditional tripitas cooker" and text on the back of the second photo in the set says, "Traditional tripitas cooker made from a plow disk."
