A photograph of a bare-chested man balancing on the top of a tall wooden pole, standing on one foot-width platform with his arms raised and holding up a horizontal wooden beam that rests across his shoulders and hands. He wears dark briefs. Above him, the ceiling is hung with many cylindrical decorations in red, orange, green and blue with gold tassels, alongside round paper-like umbrellas and lanterns on a white draped canopy. A bright light fixture is visible at left. The scene suggests a performance or display in a decorated hall; the man is the only physical person visible, and no a person candidate is identifiable from appearance.
