About the artwork
The slave cottages were built in 1850. The cottages are made in cliff stone (cut coral limestone). They are barely two metres high and have one window and a small doorway through which a person cannot pass upright. A door is missing and the window is just an opening. Two to six slaves slept in one cottage. The roofs were still made of thatch at that time; when it was decided to conserve the cottages, it was replaced with a waterproof roof. The slaves had to cut the salt from the salt pans with pickaxes and load it into a wheelbarrow with a shovel. From the wheelbarrow, the salt went into baskets, which the slaves had to carry on their heads to small sloops, which in turn carried the salt to larger ships waiting off the coast. The slaves worked all day under the tropical sun with their bare feet in the caustic salt basins. There are two groups of slave houses. Those at the White Pan are white and those at the Orange Pan are ochre yellow. Near the cottages at the White Pan is one larger house. That was for the bomba, the overseer. The houses are a protected monument on Bonaire.
