The inscription reads: "In the annual cycle of the life of the community moving between work and festivals there are festivities using musical instruments made by the musicians themselves - harps, violins, guitars, drums, cornets, and others.

These panels derive from a custom in the small Andean community of Sarhua where godparents give a young married couple a roof beam to place in their first house. the roof beam depicts the living parents and relatives of the young couple; each person is shown working in their own occupation.

The group ADAPS - the Association of the Artists of Sarhua - first moved to Lima in the early 1970s, where they continued to paint on wood, but in Lima they depicted the Andean customs of their village of Sarhua.
