The image presents an outdoor scene featuring a dark, antique heavy machine gun, identifiable as a Maxim gun, centrally positioned on a multi-tiered white concrete pedestal. The weapon, painted black, exhibits a long barrel with a visible cooling jacket, a receiver mechanism, and a support system including a wheeled crank for elevation adjustment and a multi-pronged base. Shadows cast by the weapon and pedestal indicate direct sunlight from the left. In the background to the right, a building with a red fascia and white lower walls is visible. The partial word "SUNSH" is legible on the red fascia. A black metal fence or gate stands in front of this building, behind which a white vehicle is partially discernible. Distant structures and hills rise under a bright sky in the far background. The foreground consists of light brown, unpaved ground. No individuals are present in the scene. This monument is located at the World War I Cenotaph in Lokoja, Nigeria.
