A young person is shown dressed in an elaborate costume of woven grasses and a wig of dried grass. Objects are held in both hands. Behind the figure, a narrow road can be seen before a line of trees. The back of the postcard is closely covered in handwriting and is stamped and postmarked. Printed at the bottom of the correspondence section is "Mission des RR. PP. Jesuites - Congo Belge." "Sie 1 No 3 - Sorcier.. en Herbe!"
