The image depicts an outdoor gathering in Kundu 1, Democratic Republic of the Congo, beneath a large tree with green leaves and light brown inflorescences. Approximately twenty individuals, predominantly adult males, are present. In the center foreground, a long, white, rectangular object, consistent with a makeshift coffin adorned with green and black patterns, rests on a light-colored wooden table. Four men are directly interacting with this object: two individuals on either side are lifting or supporting it, while a third man in a blue patterned shirt is positioned behind the table, appearing to write on or interact with the object. A light-colored wooden cross stands upright behind the table. To the right, a man in a brown shirt holds a traditional dark-colored drum and a drumstick. Other individuals are observing the central activity. The ground is bare earth. A simple structure with a thatched roof is visible in the background on the right. Two plastic chairs, one green and one blue, are on the far left. The wooden table has an inscription on its side reading "MESTUR CHASE POPONEY".
