La main droite de l'homme tient avec adresse un instrument, peut-être un tambourin ou un tambour, qui semble faire partie du processus traditionnel de création musicale des Indiens Mardi gras. Sa main gauche est levée près de sa poitrine, doigts tendus, comme s'il s'apprêtait à frapper l'instrument ou à accentuer une note de musique.
