The image portrays an outdoor scene in Akpaka Forest Reser, Nigeria, featuring two individuals engaged with a deceased bovine animal on dry, reddish-brown earth. A plain, light-colored wall serves as the background. In the foreground-to-mid-ground, a dark-skinned individual, wearing a red t-shirt and dark trousers, is seated directly on the ground. This individual leans over a large, light-colored bovine (cattle) that lies on its left side. The seated individual's hands are positioned near the animal's head and neck area, which exhibits signs of severe injury or partial dismemberment. A stick-like object is visible held by this individual. To the right and slightly behind the seated individual, a second person stands, clad in dark, loose-fitting clothing, including a long tunic. This standing individual holds a silver-colored blade or knife in their right hand, pointed downwards. The bovine animal is clearly deceased. Its coat is predominantly light cream or white with some darker markings. Its head and neck are significantly altered, indicating recent processing or injury. Visible on the ground immediately around the animal are dark-colored objects, including what appears to be a black sandal. The ground is unpaved, uneven, and covered in reddish-brown earth mixed with small stones. Patches of darker reddish staining, consistent with blood, are visible on the ground, particularly near the deceased animal. Scattered litter, including a red and white wrapper and a clear plastic bag, is present on the ground. A metal rod structure is partially visible in the bottom-left corner of the frame.
