The image captures two children situated in a dense, natural outdoor environment consistent with bushland or forest in Amokwue-Affa, Nigeria. The ground is composed of exposed soil, a network of roots, and scattered dry leaves, while overhead, sunlight permeates a thick canopy of green foliage and tree branches. On the left, a barefoot child, appearing younger and with dark skin, stands partially clad. This child wears a skirt constructed from large green leaves, possibly banana or plantain leaves, and has dry plant fibers incorporated into their hair. A small, tightly bound bundle of fibrous material is held in their left hand, and their gaze is directed towards the right. To the right, a second barefoot child, appearing slightly older and also with dark skin, is positioned with their right foot resting upon a substantial, textured fallen log or tree stump. This child is attired in a blue, white, and black striped knitted cap, a top fashioned from patterned fabric featuring blue, orange, and white designs, and light-colored trousers. The child actively holds a large, broad-bladed machete with a wooden handle, partially drawing it from a rough, bark-like wooden sheath secured to their hip. The machete's blade is angled to the right, and the child's focused gaze is directed off-frame to the right, aligning with the machete's orientation. There is no direct visual interaction between the two children.
