A shirtless man with a black headband and long dreadlocks performs a balancing act, standing barefoot on top of a wooden pole with arms outstretched horizontally. He wears black shorts and a thin chain necklace. Behind him, colourful cloth-wrapped pillars in red, green, blue and orange with motifs hang beneath a white tented ceiling, with lanterns and red and gold decorations overhead. This appears to be a stage or tent performance rather than a ritual; no deity or a person depiction is visible.
