How to make the counterweight when a big stone is not available
This is another close-up of the details of the shaduf. It is the "bottom" of the counterweight. In this part of the Sudan, there are no big stones so a clay lump is built up around a re-inforced construction made of branches and cords. Here the clay has not yet been put in position.
