The image shows four men standing side by side. They are holding rifles, looking at the camera. Each man has distinct facial features with mustaches. They wear traditional clothing, including robes, turbans and shawls. The background is a textured wall with a small doorway or window displaying a portrait of another man and some writing. The setting appears to be outdoors on a dirt path.
