A young male, appearing to be a child, stands upright, centered in the frame, facing the camera directly in Akwanga, Nigeria. He wears a faded blue, long-sleeved tunic with visible tears around the neckline and shoulders, over light-colored, possibly beige, trousers that extend to just below the knees. Grey-brown flip-flops are worn on both feet. In his left hand, he holds a clear plastic bag containing numerous small, dark, granular objects. The background consists of a textured, light-brown plastered wall, appearing aged. To the left, a window with dark wooden louvers or shutters, partially closed, is set into the wall, revealing metal bars behind. The ground is an uneven, compacted dirt or concrete surface, strewn with small, light-colored fragments resembling grain or wood chips, particularly around the subject's feet and to his left. Concrete steps or a raised platform are visible to the right and behind the subject. An additional pair of dark-colored flip-flops lies on the ground in the foreground to the left, and another single flip-flop is visible further back on the right. A thin, dark, stick-like object also lies on the ground near the subject's feet. A vertical plastered column or doorway structure is partially visible on the far right.
