An elderly village chief is shown standing outdoors. He wears anklets and a dark cloth wrap, with a stick propped against his shoulder. Behind him, foliage can be seen. The back of the postcard has no handwriting on it. Printed in the correspondence section is "Mission des RR. PP. Jesuites au Kwango. Kwango-Missie der EE PP Jezuiten in Kongo." "Vieux chef de village. Een oud opperhoofd."
