About this work

This painting depicts a gathering of people in a somber atmosphere. The scene is set outdoors, with a large crowd of men, women, and children standing together. They are dressed in traditional clothing, with some wearing white robes and others in more colorful attire. In the foreground, a group of people are gathered around a pile of skulls and bones. A man in a white robe stands out, holding a staff and looking upwards. The background of the painting features a blue sky with mountains in the distance. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
