A photograph from behind of a single performer with arms outstretched wide, wearing gold bangles on the wrists and upper arms and a leopard-print wrap over the back. Long black matted locks fall down the back, with a small white flower tucked in the hair. Behind the performer, two blurred painted or printed figures in orange and red dance in mirrored poses against a blue and red backdrop. A small white bird-like graphic appears at upper left. The scene reads as a ritual or dance performance display.
