Description:
Young women and men at a dance occasion.
The women in the foreground are holding dance sticks, and one is waving a woven mat above her head.
Youths, one with a club tucked under his arm, are milling around just beyond them.
Dances were frequent events, which provided the main opportunity for youths and girls to socialise together.
