The image displays a close-up, angled view of architectural ornamentation on a building located in Oba, Nigeria. A dark, textured relief sculpture of a stylized animal head is affixed to a white, painted stucco wall. The sculpture, rendered in black, features prominent ears, a scaly forehead, a ridged mane-like collar, a snout, and an open mouth revealing a reddish-orange interior. The black finish exhibits wear, particularly along its edges and raised surfaces, exposing lighter material underneath. Below this central sculpture, a horizontal, rectangular black relief panel with circular and curvilinear patterns is partially visible along the bottom edge of the frame. Strong shadows are cast on the sculpture and the white wall, indicating direct sunlight from the upper left. To the right, a vertical section of a reddish-brown, painted wall or pillar forms an exterior corner with the white wall. No individuals are present in the scene.
