A blurred outdoor scene on sandy ground in front of a bamboo hedge and a red earth wall. Several male drummers in red tunics and yellow trousers play hand drums, some with white-painted faces. Behind them a dancer in an ornate gold headdress, orange tunic and white feathered fan performs with a stick, while a man in orange and green drums on a frame drum. Figures stand at the right edge. This appears to be a folk-style performance with drums and costumed dancers.
