Three visible performers wear blue and green peacock headpieces with red beaks and long dark peacock-feather trains, plus blue bodices with red, yellow and orange patterned trims and green skirts. One performer on the right raises a hand, and a partly visible figure on the left wears a white head wrap. Behind them stand a leafy tree, a utility pole with wires, and yellow-green pennant flags against a clear blue sky.
