This painting shows a group of indigenous people surrounding a traditional kitchen (tushpa). It represents a moment of daily life in the community and highlights the importance of unity and tradition in the communities. The scene usually depicts human figures with details in their traditional clothing, while they participate in the preparation of food around a campfire or rustic kitchen. The natural colors and typical foods represent the cultural identity and ancestral knowledge of the community.

This type of painting was made using tree bark as a base, treated with natural resin that acts as a sealant, and the colors were obtained from natural pigments, which intensifies the connection with the environment. The resin, in addition to protecting the painting, gives it depth and texture, highlighting details in the figures and enhancing the color.
