Aït El-Kaïd mountain village, Algeria. Scanned from the book Imazighen: The Vanishing Traditions of Berber Women; 1996; Margaret Courtney-Clarke

When plague survivors fled nearby Aguemoum, one ancestor of the current owner built this small house on a rocky ridge above a narrow gorge, at the heart of Aït El-Kaïd. At the time these photo were taken, Ahmed's 80-year-old mother, who had painted the interior, was dying in an adjoining room. Twenty years earlier, having no daughter to continue the tradition, she had chosen weather-resistant paints for the walls and her ceramics.
