Over thirty women of various ages perform a dance on a bank near the ocean. Half of the women sit in a line on the ground with their arms outstreatched the other half stands behind them also spreading their arms. The back of the postcard is blank and contains a printed title: "Missions Maristes d'Oceanie - 16.B - Danse de femmes (Siva) aux Samoa." ("Marist Missions of Oceania - 16.B - Dance of women (Siva) in Samoa.") The back also contains information from the publisher: "Editions Procure, 123, Chemin de Choulans, Lyon." The Marists were a Catholic missionary order.
