The image captures an outdoor scene in Tamansari, Indonesia. In the foreground, two men are central to the composition. On the left, an older man, dressed in black traditional Javanese attire including a black blangkon and long-sleeved shirt, is seated on white woven sacks. His hands are positioned near a younger man's head, holding a small, purple object, suggesting an adjustment or preparation involving a large, red and white traditional mask worn by the younger man. This mask, resembling a stylized creature with prominent features, a black mane-like extension, and small golden bells, covers the younger man's entire face. The younger man, clad in a black jacket, a striped shirt, and blue jeans, is seated directly on the ground, which is strewn with dry straw. A thick, dark rope is tied around his left ankle, extending to a red and black object resembling a handle or club lying on the ground. In the mid-ground, a group of male onlookers of various ages observe the scene. The background features green foliage, a temporary white metal structure, and faint banners, indicating an outdoor gathering or event. The ground consists of rough earth and scattered stones.
