This is a black and white engraving depicting a man seated at a low rectangular table. The man is muscular and appears to be playing a musical instrument. He is bare-chested, wearing a cloth around his waist, and has curly hair and a beard. He is holding a stick in his right hand, raised as if conducting or striking the instrument. The table is covered with a series of circular, shallow dishes or bowls, arranged in a row. The man is striking or playing these dishes with the stick. The table has four legs and a simple construction. Below the image, there is text that reads "Instrumento in Batam". To the left, there is a letter "CI" and to the right, the number "137". The background is filled with vertical lines, creating a textured effect. The style of the engraving is detailed and reminiscent of historical illustrations.
