A photograph of a group of people in an outdoor garden setting with green grass and trees behind them. Several men and women in traditional African attire stand close together. On the left a man wears a black embroidered robe with a red and white beaded collar. Next to him an older man wears a white embroidered cap and a tan-and-white patterned robe. Beside them a person wears a leopard-print cloak over a light blue shirt and dark trousers, holding a microphone. A woman in a green, yellow and black patterned dress stands near the centre. On the right a man in a red and brown patterned robe with a red and white beaded headpiece holds a white plate. No one in the scene is confidently identifiable as a person by appearance, so the identity is unsure.

A smiling woman stands in front of a thatched and bamboo-walled room beside a white banner reading Kingdom of Dlamini with a coat of arms. She wears a black and white beaded shoulder piece, a long black fringed skirt with a green, blue and gold patterned wrap, and holds a small white beaded shield-like object in one hand and a short stick in the other. Behind her a leopard-spotted animal skin hangs on the wall, and a patterned cushion and a woven wicker side table sit to the right.

Four people sit in a bamboo-walled room under a thatched ceiling, seated on wicker chairs and an animal-hide-covered bench. Two vertical banners behind them read KINGDOM OF DLAMINI with a coat of arms showing a lion, elephant and shield. A leopard-skin hanging with a black tail-like fringe is mounted on the wall. On the left a young woman wears a white fur-like cape, beaded green and red skirt and beaded anklets. Next to her a woman in a black-and-white cowhide wrap sits on the hide-covered seat. On the right an older man wears layered red, orange and blue beaded necklaces and a beaded skirt, holding a wooden staff. At far right a man wears a maroon and yellow shawl over a white top.

A man wearing a red skullcap and a pale yellow embroidered agbada-style robe with brown and green geometric patterns and matching green embroidered panels. He has a dark beaded necklace and a black wrist band, and he holds a small red object between his fingers while speaking with an open-mouthed expression. Behind him are green leafy plants and a light wall, with a faint news-site navigation bar at the top edge. The setting appears to be an indoor room.

Close head-and-shoulders portrait of an older African man wearing a leopard-print headdress with a red band and layered beaded necklaces, with a serious, downcast expression against a plain background. No a person candidate is visible; the subject appears to be a traditional African monarch-style figure, and no printed caption is visible in the image.
