Description:
A group of youths and young women dancing around two drummers playing hide drums on the ground in the shade of a tree.
The youth dancing with a club in the centre of frame is wearing numerous rem beads as well as a textile head covering and spectacles, which were probably rare in Mandari.
Dances were frequent events, which provided the main opportunity for youths and girls to socialise together.
