Outdoor youth sports scene on a sandy ground lined with palm trees and rows of white and orange flags. Several young men in white sleeveless vests and light trousers crouch in a tug-of-war or wrestling-style contest, one in a dark brown shirt with a printed portrait and blue shorts stands at left facing them. A man in an orange top stands under a red-and-white canopy in the background near a man in white. Spectators in white and saffron clothing watch from behind. The printed portrait on the dark shirt shows a person with long hair; it is a printed image, not a clearly identifiable physical person.
