The scene captures a moment of relaxation and joy as a group of skilled male jugglers captivate the onlookers with their mesmerizing performance. Dressed in traditional costumes, these talented performers showcase not only their incredible juggling skills but also the rich cultural heritage of the Arab Berbers and Negroid populations. Their clothing, veils, headdresses, and accessories reflect the diverse fashion and clothing styles prevalent during that era. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as both locals and visitors gather around to witness this spectacle. The energy is palpable as laughter fills the air while these skilled artists effortlessly toss objects into the sky, defying gravity with each precise movement.
