A steep cliffside with green and yellow vegetation and a red-brown streak is on the right. A small red and yellow house is built on the cliffside. In the foreground, people carry round objects on their heads as they walk on a path. A small yellow house with a red roof is visible in the bottom-left corner. The background features a blue sky with gray clouds. A small white rectangle with foreign writing is in the top-right corner, and two red seals are on the right side.
