A close-up, vertical image depicts a person's face, characterized by dark skin, tightly closed eyes, and a contorted expression, with pronounced wrinkles across the forehead and around the orbital area. The face is extensively covered with red and yellow/gold paint or makeup; irregular red streaks are applied over and around both eyes, with visible drips running down the left cheek. Additional wavy red patterns are present on the forehead, interspersed with the yellow/gold substance. The lips are painted a vibrant red. A small gold stud is visible in the right nostril. A hand, with long, pink-painted fingernails, is pressed firmly against the right cheek. The individual wears a black satin head covering that frames the face. The background consists of a light-colored wall featuring a repetitive pattern of thin, stylized green bamboo leaves. The scene is located in Ado, Nigeria.
