Traditional cone-shaped straw structure in Porto-Novo, Benin

A young boy in a striped jersey and shorts walks past a large, cone-shaped structure made of straw. The straw structure has a layered appearance with a smaller, tiered structure on top. It appears to be a costume or effigy. There are white barricades in the background, suggesting a public event or parade. People are visible behind the barricades. The environment appears to be a street with a building in the background and a cloudy sky. The boy is walking from left to right in the frame. The straw structure is stationary.
