A gathering of approximately 15-20 individuals, predominantly adult males, is depicted outdoors in Namisha, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The immediate foreground and right side of the image show exposed reddish-brown soil, suggesting disturbed ground, with sparse patches of dry grass. Dense green foliage and trees form the background. In the left foreground, a man in a blue suit jacket holds an open white booklet in his left hand, his right hand slightly extended. Beside him, an older man with a bald head, wearing a dark suit jacket, also holds a similar open booklet. To their right, a younger man in a blue hooded sweatshirt holds a T-shaped wooden object in his right hand. Other men, dressed in various attire including shirts, jackets, and a red cap, stand around them, observing. The collective posture and objects indicate a solemn communal event.
