The scene takes place outdoors in Makungu, Democratic Republic of Congo. A group of people stand gathered in front of a mud brick house with a thatched roof. The house is on the right side of the photo. Two men are carrying a large, blue, floral-patterned object, possibly a coffin. In the center, a man in a white robe stands with his hands clasped in front of him. There are many other people standing around, including women in brightly colored dresses. The environment is rural and dusty, with tall grass and trees in the background. The sun is shining brightly, casting shadows across the ground.
