The scene depicts a natural spring or stream within a dense tropical forest environment in Unknown, Indonesia. Large, ancient-looking trees with prominent root systems dominate the background; the bases of three central trees are wrapped in fabric—one in a black and white checkered pattern, another in dark green, and a third in greyish-brown material. A low stone wall, partially draped with yellow fabric and covered in green foliage, runs along the bank, from which at least two water spouts discharge water into the shallow stream. A small red and white sign is visible on the bank near the checkered-wrapped tree. In the foreground, two individuals stand in the clear, shallow water of the stream, both facing away from the viewer and bent over. The individual on the left wears a red long-sleeved shirt and dark shorts. The individual on the right wears a white short-sleeved top, a dark striped sarong-like garment, and carries a light-colored fanny pack. Both have bare feet submerged in the water and appear to be engaged in a ritualistic or cleansing activity, possibly collecting or washing with the spring water.
