The villagers, dressed in simple yet colorful attire, are meticulously weaving a large, intricate decoy drum from straw mats. The drum, which will be used for hunting, is a significant part of their tribal heritage and plays a crucial role in their daily lives. The intricate design of the drum not only serves as a functional tool but also holds deep cultural significance.
