An outdoor scene in Fizi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, depicts a gathering of approximately 15-20 individuals around a mound of reddish-brown earth under a bright sky. In the foreground, a dark-skinned adult male, wearing a yellow t-shirt, light blue patterned jeans, and orange flip-flops, is actively engaged in shoveling soil with a rusty spade featuring a wooden handle. He stands over a significant pile of freshly disturbed earth, which contains sparse dry grass and small debris. Surrounding this central activity, an assembly of mostly adult males, with some females visible in the background, observes. Several men are formally dressed in suits of brown, black, and grey, paired with dress shirts. One man in a brown suit holds a cross wrapped in light blue fabric adorned with a floral pattern. Another man, in a dark suit, holds an open, dark-covered book, possibly religious in nature. Other attendees wear various casual clothing, including t-shirts and shirts in red and blue. In the distant background, green trees are visible beneath a clear sky, with a faint metal lattice cell tower discernible against the horizon. The overall scene suggests a burial or grave-related ceremony.
