Square Tigua painting depicting a fiesta in a village and the countryside. The sky and the countryside serve as the background of the painting. On the left are three fields, each with a different crop, being tended to by farmers, and a field with white camelid creatures with two herders. The village scene shows people in costume with masks and musicians. The canvas itself is formed by a piece of skin stretched and nailed over a wooden frame.
