Description

Landscape image of a woman walking down a wide dirt road, lined with houses on the right. She appears to be shaking small rattles. Men, women and children sit on the stoop of the houses under corrugated roofs, watching the woman pass. Some of them play drums. Possibly part of a ceremony.
