Title Photograph of two lines of strawboys outside at Lios Buí.
Description Photograph of two lines of strawboys outside at Lios Buí, Kilnamartry, Macroom, Co Cork. Six strawboys are visible, four in one line and two in the other. They wear straw skirts and, apart from one, head pieces. The arms of their jackets are uncovered. One strawboy, in the centre midground, is the only one with his head uncovered. He holds his head piece in his right hand. His mouth is open and he appears to be talking. The other strawboys are turned toward him. Pieces of straw are scattered about the ground. It is too dark behind the strawboys to see anything.
