Dear pjburkshire,
My humble view and conclusions lead me to believe that the “photographer,” the one documenting the working life in this manuscript, depicted the women in the basins where they performed ritual washings and post-work cleanings. They are also shown nude in the circles of duties, but I interpret this as a way to represent equality among the women. There are no other depictions of them nude while performing their daily tasks outside of these contexts. Therefore, in my opinion, this is not at all what you are suggesting.
