A family poses outside their straw hut in a grove of banana trees. The woman is holding a jug on her head as the man is standing, holding a stick. One of the children is holding a large stick in a churn. The back of the postcard contains a handwritten message in French and also contains information about the mission agency: "Missiehuis v.d. H. Geest te Lier en Ingelmunster." "Katanga- Missies der P.P. v.d. H. Geest- Missions des P.P. du St. Esprit " There is also the caption: "Baluba-hut.- Case de Baluba."
