This image depicts an outdoor scene in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, featuring two young children engaged in playing a mancala-style board game on dry, reddish-brown earth. The child on the left, wearing a light-colored t-shirt and light blue shorts, sits barefoot with legs crossed, looking towards the game board. The child on the right, in a light-colored t-shirt and light-colored pants, sits barefoot with legs extended, actively manipulating translucent green marbles on the wooden game board with their right hand. The mancala board is open and placed flat on the ground between them, containing multiple green marbles distributed across its twelve circular pits. The ground around the children consists of dry, compact soil interspersed with sparse patches of green grass and dry vegetation. In the background, an area of denser green grass is visible under bright, natural light. Scattered items on the ground include: a crumpled light brown fabric item, a blue flip-flop, a pair of light brown sandals, a blue shoe with red laces, a small pink and white wrapper or box, a blue plastic bottle cap, and a partially visible clear plastic bottle. Part of a third individual's legs, wearing patterned clothing (red, blue, white), is visible in the upper left corner.
