Outdoor village scene on a dirt ground in front of low houses. A tall slender bamboo pole rises from a small mound of earth at the centre, flying a saffron/orange triangular flag. Behind it a wooded, rocky hill rises under a blue sky with white clouds, with a small structure visible on the hilltop. Single-storey houses with tin and tiled roofs line the left and right; a small figure stands near a doorway.
