This image depicts a cultural performance or gathering in an outdoor setting in Jos, Nigeria. In the foreground, three young females are actively engaged in a dance. They are barefoot, wearing black t-shirts, colorful wrap-around skirts (red and green), multiple bead necklaces (red, green, white, black), white feathered headpieces, and woven ankle rattles. Two dancers hold white feathered or straw-like hand props; one dancer in a green skirt is bent forward, manipulating a light-colored, fibrous object with a metal handle. The dancer in the red skirt to her right is also bent slightly, holding a similar item. The dancer to the far left in a red skirt looks towards the camera with a slight smile, holding a circular feathered prop. In the mid-ground, a group of people is seated, observing the performance. Several men are dressed in traditional black and white patterned tops and matching caps. Women are seated in white attire, some with elaborate beadwork or woven headpieces. One woman in white has a long, braided, light-colored hairpiece or adornment over her shoulder. A young child is visible among the seated observers. The background features a traditional mud-brick structure with a thatched roof on the left. Dense green foliage and trees are visible behind the seated group, suggesting a natural outdoor environment. The ground beneath the performers is bare earth. A green ribbon or streamer is faintly visible strung between trees in the upper right background.
