In the foreground a woman balances a brass pot topped with pink and white flowers and a small carved bird on her head.

A figure at right wears an ornate painted mask with red and gold details. Men in white shirts and dark trousers stand among the dancers, and a flower-topped staff with a bird figure rises above the crowd.
