Description

Two women and a girl are dancing and playing percussion instruments. One woman is playing a tambourine. Another woman is playing a triangle in a left-handed position, upon which there appear to be two(?) jingling rings; the details of the triangle are somewhat unclear. The girl is playing a sistrum, which is held high above her head in her left hand.
