An outdoor gathering is depicted in the city of Namisha, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The central focus is a rectangular object, likely a coffin, covered with a green and black patterned fabric and partially with a purple fabric, resting on a low wooden stand. Four men are seated in the foreground in plastic chairs; two men in suits occupy yellow chairs, one in a red jacket sits in a yellow chair, and another in a dark shirt is seated in a blue chair with his back to the viewer. A man in a blue patterned shirt stands to the left of the draped object, appearing to address the seated individuals. A large crowd, predominantly women and children, surrounds the central area, with many individuals seated directly on the bare earth or standing further back. Most women are dressed in vibrant, patterned African textiles and head coverings. The background consists of dense tropical vegetation, including trees and banana plants. The ground surface is unpaved dirt. The scene conveys a communal, solemn event.
