The scene depicts an outdoor gathering in Akwanga, Nigeria, centered around a freshly excavated grave. A rectangular pit of reddish-brown earth occupies the immediate foreground, with a mound of excavated soil situated to its left. Approximately 18 adult males are present, gathered around the grave site. Two central figures are dressed in black clerical attire. The individual on the left, bald, wears a black cassock with a short cape and holds a small, silver-colored wrench-like tool in his right hand. To his right, another individual in a black robe with red trim, wearing glasses, holds an open book and appears to be officiating a ceremony. The remaining attendees wear a variety of garments, including t-shirts, jeans, a red plaid shirt, and traditional patterned tunics, standing in proximity to the grave. The background consists of dense green foliage, including tall stalks of vegetation and mature trees, beneath a cloudy sky.
