A group of fairly well-dressed shepherds dance in a ring in a generic pastoral scene, while a group of nobly-dressed hunters gathers in the background. Most of the shepherds of both sexes wear pouch belts with attahced rings with implements, but the photo is too small and grainy for many details. Note that the hunters, if they wear pouches, wear a different style.
