The image shows a group of around eighteen to twenty individuals in a sepia-toned photograph. They are situated near a wooden structure with a door at the center. Some people are seated on the ground with legs crossed, while others are standing or sitting on a step or a bench. The individuals are looking towards the camera with neutral or solemn expressions. They wear long dresses, shirts, trousers, headscarves, bonnets, and hats. The background features a wooden wall made from horizontal planks and the ground appears to be dirt or possibly straw-covered. No jewelry or objects are visible, and the people are arranged closely together in a group.
