The scene depicts an outdoor gathering in Namisha, Democratic Republic of the Congo, under a clear blue sky. In the immediate foreground, the back of a person wearing a red short-sleeved shirt is visible. The shirt features prominent gold Chinese characters "盛大开业" (Grand Opening), the English word "OPENING," the "MARCO POLO" logo, and a list of brand names in Chinese, including "TOTO 卫浴" (TOTO Sanitaryware) and "马可波罗瓷砖" (Marco Polo Tiles). Central to the image, a man in a light blue jacket, red shirt, dark red trousers, and black rubber boots with green cuffs leans forward, looking down into a freshly dug hole. He holds a gnarled, brown, root-like object attached to a stick, which he appears to be placing or manipulating within the excavation. Next to the hole, a small, purple, twisted fabric figure, resembling a cross or doll, is positioned on the reddish-brown earth. To the right and behind these central figures, a group of at least ten adult women observe the activity. They are dressed in various colorful patterned fabrics and headwraps, indicative of traditional African attire. The ground consists of reddish-brown soil mixed with dried grass and straw, suggesting recent disturbance. Sparse green vegetation is visible in the background.
