Warriors And MaidensAn average family with four children has eighty-six olive
trees, which produce around 460 to 800 kilograms of oil and 200 kilograms of olives. Family consumption amounts to fifty to eighty kilograms per capita per year so approximately 400 kilograms are required for family consumption. Thus, sixty to 400 kilograms are saleable. Villagers use spare oil (usually from the final windfalls) for direct exchange. If sold for cash outside the village, the better quality oil must be sold. 150 kilograms of olives are consumed within the family, so approximately thirty kilograms can be sold. Again they sell the best quality.Olives and olive oil provide protein and vitamins in diet, fuel for cooking, heating, lighting and waste for fertilizer. Trees provide housing timber and firewood. Wild trees are not very productive or easy to get at, but they are used for firewood and kindling, and their foliage is a rich source of fodder. They are also used for grafting transplants and new saplings. The waste from olive oil production is used for compost.The domestic cycle is complete (see below) in thirty-nine households (As data from thirty-seven households shows, the average size of completed families in Asi Gonia is 4.5). Of the remaining families, 115 households usually herd some sheep or goats. In an average herding family there will be three rams, seventy-six ewes, forty-five lambs, (only 41 per cent of sheep have lambs), eighteen goats, thirteen kids and three male goats (one hundred adult animals). Printed with rich, true-to-life color on your choice of fine art or semi-gloss paper, the image sits inside a matte black pinewood frame that feels both modern and well-worn. The shatter-proof plexiglass keeps the piece safe while the pre-installed hanging hardware and rubber bumpers make installation clean and straight. It settles easily above a sofa, in a hallway, or against a bedside wall — the kind of piece that grows more atmospheric as evening falls and the room quiets.Product features- Choice of fine art (310 gsm) or semi-gloss (260 gsm) paper for texture or brightness- 100% pinewood frame in matte black with brown paper backing- Shatter-proof plexiglass front to protect the print- Pre-installed hanging hardware and rubber bumpers for easy, level mounting- Available in 10 sizes with horizontal and vertical orientation optionsCare instructions- Clean framed prints with a slightly wet cloth when necessary.
