Color photography shows the moment of the procession. In the center of the image there is a black, slender, elderly woman wearing a lace dress, a scarf on her head in red color, a ring earring and a white bead cord. The woman occupies the space of the photograph located from the waist upwards, carrying a drum to her shoulder hanging by a cloth strap, called the Divine box. In the background of the image there are shades of blurred red showing the ruins of a mansion and on the left a part of the royal flag and a man in a green shirt, both blurred.
