- Synopsis
- This image shows a Chinese farmer on the left and a buffalo on the right of the page. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The image is surrounded by an image border. They are both facing to the right, walking in the brown muddy, shallow water of a paddy field. The farmer on the left is wearing a Chinese hat on the top of his head. A little bit of black hair pokes from under the hat to the left and right of his ear. One of his two eyes can be found. He wears a pale yellow short-sleeved shirt and long dark blue shorts. One of his two arms is shown hanging down and bent at the elbow then going right to hold the handle of the plough. His feet cannot be found as they are hidden by the water. From the curved plough handle the shaft of the plough goes down the page and slightly to the right. The plough blade is hidden in the mud and water and cannot be found. Halfway down the plough shaft is a plough arm which goes to the right. It finishes in a small circle which is the end of a bar. A rope is attached to the bar which goes up and right to the yoke on the buffalo. There is another rope tied to the other end of the bar which goes up on the other side of the buffalo to the other end of the yoke, also on the other side of the buffalo. This is not shown. Above the end of the bar is the tip of the buffalo's tail. From the hairy end of the tail it goes up the page to buffalo's bottom. The buffalo's big strong body is to the right of the tail. Just to the right of the top of the tail are some bumps sticking up, these are the pelvic bones pushing the skin up. To the right is a hump made by the shoulder bones. The leather yolk is hooked over this to take the strain of pulling the plough through the mud. The yolk is held in place by two smaller ropes that go around the buffalo's neck. The buffalo walks on its four legs but its hooves cannot be found as they are hidden by the water. To the right of the yoke is the buffalo's head. The head is seen from the side so only one horn, ear, eye and nostril can be found. At the top of the head is a horn sticking up. Down from this is an ear which is droopy and hangs down. To the right is an eye and at the end of the face to the right is a nostril. Down from this, part of the mouth is showing.
