The image depicts a cultural performance or ceremony occurring outdoors in the city of Jos, Nigeria. In the foreground, an adult male, seen in profile facing right, plays a dark, tube-like wind instrument. He wears a dark, leather-like headpiece and a matching sleeveless top, both extensively adorned with cowrie shells. His left wrist bears a cowrie shell bracelet, and a gold-colored ring is on his left ring finger. White fur-like accents are visible at his shoulders and wrists. Behind him and to the left, several other men are similarly dressed in cowrie-shell embellished attire and headpieces, also playing identical wind instruments. One individual further back on the left wears yellow and black patterned trousers with cowrie shells around his ankles. To the right, in the background, other participants are visible, some wearing red caps and red and white beaded necklaces over white tops and striped lower garments. The background features a traditional mud-walled structure with a thatched roof on the far left. Lush green foliage and trees are visible throughout the background. Colorful streamers (red and green) are strung horizontally in the upper part of the frame. The ground appears to be dry, light-colored earth. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
