A group of people are gathered indoors, likely for a ceremony or event. Most are seated, wearing similar attire: dark outfits adorned with white cowrie shells in decorative patterns. Headwear also features these shells. One person stands, facing the group, wearing a long, red robe and a matching red cap. The background includes light-colored curtains or drapes. The scene has a cultural or traditional significance, judging from the attire and the presence of a leader-like figure.
