The image shows a scene with people engaged in a sport or game. The figures wear vibrant clothes in shades of brown, orange, yellow, pink, and green, embellished with feathers and silver jewelry. The figures all have long dark hair, and many of them have feathers in their hair. Each of the central figures holds a stick with a small net at the end, and they all appear to be lunging towards a small ball on the ground. In the background is a dramatic landscape with tall purple mountains, green hills, and large pink and white clouds sweeping across the blue sky.
