Description
Standing on a base made of stones of varied size and shape, the three women, the leaders of the Fireburn Revolt (1878), face outward, forming a triangle. Dressed in floor-length dresses and aprons, each figure carries objects related to their resistance. One figure lifts a lantern in her right hand. The second figure holds a cane bill in her right hand and a torch in her left, while the third figure holds a torch in her right hand.
