A roadside procession on a paved village road with palm trees and a yellow-and-green bunting strung above. Two performers in tall peacock-feathered headdresses with orange and red discs stand at the centre; the left figure wears a blue and yellow costume and the right figure a green robe, both appearing to carry or lift one another. On the left a barefoot drummer in a white shirt and orange head wrap beats a drum, with a second white-clad musician beside him. Onlookers stand along the roadside, and a white vintage car is parked behind them. No a person is visible in the scene.
