The paintings have three different layers of superimpositions, with the earlier ones faintly visible. The drawing of eight stick-shaped men dancing arm in arm, a dancer and another group of three dancers are drawn here. One more group of illustration comprises fourteen figures of dancers and one figure of a drummer. The dancers are shown with joined arms in three groups of eight, four, and two, and the drummer holding a drum with broad ends is painted above the dancers.
