Rural Roadside Vendor with Woven Goods Stall, CBI Theater, WWII Era

A local vendor tends a roadside stall along a rural path in the China-Burma-India theater during World War II. Handwoven baskets, a conical sunshade, and a large spoked wheel reflect the traditional material culture encountered by Allied personnel operating in the region's remote villages during the Burma campaign.
