This image, taken in Sabon Tasha, Nigeria, depicts an adult male and a child posed outdoors. The adult male, seated on a concrete ledge, has white facial paint above the eyebrows and below the eyes, with red paint on the nose and lips. He wears a dark sleeveless tunic with red trim, black trousers, a cowrie shell necklace with a single fang-like pendant, multiple beaded bracelets, and rings on both ring fingers; a green-stoned ring on the left and a black-emblazoned ring and an opal-like ring on the right. He holds the red-fringed hilt of a sword or machete in his right hand. Standing slightly in front and to the left of the adult is a child, exhibiting identical white and red facial markings and wearing a cowrie-shell headband. The child is dressed in a dark sleeveless tunic with white embroidery and tassels, light blue denim shorts, and multiple beaded necklaces and bracelets. The child holds a tall, light-colored wooden staff, carved with a skull-like figure at its upper end. In the background, a black plastic water tank is partially visible to the left, bearing text including "ARE OF" and a partial date "0000 2003". A plain tan-colored wall forms the background behind the adult. A black and white dog's head is partially visible on the far left, behind the adult's left arm. Both subjects look directly towards the camera.
