An adult male with dark skin and short dark hair is depicted in a close-up, upward-angled shot in Sabon Tasha, Nigeria. His face is largely covered with a light grey, textured substance, appearing to be a mask or ceremonial application. The substance is applied unevenly across his forehead, around his eyes, cheeks, nose, and lips, leaving parts of his natural skin tone visible, including a dark stubble on his chin and jawline. His dark eyes are open and gaze upwards and slightly to the viewer's right. No clothing is visible on his upper torso. The background consists of a light-colored, possibly concrete, wall exhibiting visible cracks. Attached to the wall in the upper left is a small, white, cylindrical fixture. Above the subject and the wall, a dark, rough-hewn wooden beam extends horizontally, casting a shadow. In the distant background, to the lower left, light-colored fabric (possibly laundry) is hanging, and a dark blue barrel or container is partially visible. The scene is illuminated by natural light, casting clear shadows, indicating daytime conditions.
