Description

A man in dark clothing sits on the ground playing a wind instrument. He is blowing down a blowpipe while his right hand grasps a straight, conical pipe and his left holds an oval, sack-like object that appears to rest against his right cheek. The man has a bag on his left hip and what might be some sort of headgear hangs down his back.
