Overview
A large breadfruit tree dominates the right foreground. Two boys ride a horse bareback, with a full sack sitting in front of the front boy. There are three fale visible, one obscured behind the breadfruit tree, one in the background and the other to the left. A tree stump and two tree trunks are in front of the left fale. A couple of small woven mats are lying near the stump.
