Description

A portrait of three young men and an elder to the left of frame. They are at a large gathering with crowds of onlookers visible in the background. The waist skin aprons and armlets (minyonge) and leg rings are typical of those worn in the period, and they also wear hippo or wild pig tusk ornaments, a monkey tail headdress and each carries a club.
