In the city of Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo, an outdoor scene is depicted on an unpaved field of reddish-brown earth with sparse grass. In the foreground, two children are seated on the ground, engaged in a game of mancala using a wooden board and small green playing pieces. The child on the left, a female, wears a light short-sleeved top and a green, blue, and black patterned skirt. The child on the right, a male, wears a dark blue patterned short-sleeved shirt and blue denim shorts; his right hand is positioned over the game board. An orange fabric bag and a black bag rest on the ground behind the female. An orange, cylindrical object is on the ground to the right of the male child. In the mid-ground, a third child is seated, wearing a light top and a red patterned skirt. Further back, a fourth individual is partially visible, walking away from the camera. A goalpost frame is discernible in the distant background on the right.
