The scene depicts an open burial site in the city of Muthetheni ward, Kenya. A rectangular grave, approximately 2.5 meters deep, has been excavated into reddish-brown soil, revealing rough internal walls. The excavated earth forms mounds around the perimeter of the grave. Laid horizontally across the floor of the grave are multiple sheets of corrugated galvanized iron, which rest on several horizontal wooden beams embedded into the grave walls. The lower legs and feet of at least five individuals are visible, standing on the earthen ground surrounding the grave. Footwear includes white sneakers, black dress shoes, and multi-colored athletic shoes. One individual's hand, located near the top right of the frame, holds the wooden handle of a metal shovel, with its blade angled towards the ground adjacent to the grave's edge. The surrounding ground features sparse green vegetation, dry leaves, and scattered white and yellow floral petals.
