A black and white landscape photograph of around twenty-eight Sri Lankan people posing for a photograph. Six adults stand on the back row with around twenty-two children, both girls and boys, in front of them in loose rows. The smallest children have been positioned on the front row. People in the group wear jackets, dresses, sarong-like garments and other clothes. Most or all of the children are barefooth. A boy to the left of the image has his hands on his hips and is smiling. The group are standing between buildings largely made of dried grass or other natural material, with a woven wall or screen visible to the left of the image. A roof visible to the right of the image has ceramic tiles. The boy furthest to the left of the image is standing on the lip of a rounded stone structure, possibly a bedstone for grinding cereals or a basin for washing clothes (square pieces of fabric can be seen hung up on the far right and far left of the image). Palm treess and other trees can be seen in the background, as well as additional, slightly blurred figures who are not part of the main group. Original caption (below the photograph, typed): 'GROUP OF NATIVE CHILDREN TRINCOMOLI'.
