An outdoor scene in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, depicts approximately ten Black individuals, predominantly children, gathered on reddish-brown earth. Six to seven children are clustered around a wooden Mancala-style board game, positioned centrally on the ground, filled with green translucent game pieces. One girl in a red-orange top is actively manipulating the game pieces. Other seated children, wearing assorted casual clothing including striped shirts, plain tops, and patterned wraps, attentively observe the play. To the left, a child in an orange shirt leans forward, partially obscuring another child. To the right, a child in a green top holds an infant or very young child wrapped in patterned fabric. A standing boy with a shaved head, clad in a blue and yellow patterned shirt and dark shorts, observes the game with his right hand near his forehead. Another boy in a striped t-shirt stands partially visible to the right. In the background, sparse dry brush, distant trees, and scattered debris like plastic wrappers are visible under clear daylight conditions.
