Image of several shirtless men wearing knee-length or calf-length pants, perhaps working in a village or plantation; one suspends
something by a ring over a shallow basin; another holds a pickaxe; a third carries a vase on his head; two more men carry
a stick with things – possibly skins or animals – strung over in, and another stick rests on two forked branches stuck in
the ground; in the foreground is a small oven which produces a large stream of smoke, and in the background are palm trees
and a building.
