The image depicts an outdoor public gathering in Akwanga, Nigeria, under a hazy daytime sky. The central figure is a dark-skinned individual with dreadlocks, facing the viewer directly. Their face is covered in white and black paint, creating a skull-like or clown-like appearance with dark areas around the eyes, nose, and mouth, and vertical lines extending from the mouth corners. Small black "HA" symbols are painted on the forehead and cheeks. This individual wears a dark long-sleeved garment underneath a light-colored, possibly white, traditional-style tunic featuring intricate light brown embroidery down the front. A patterned olive-green and black scarf is wrapped around their neck. In their right hand, raised vertically, they hold a dark, stylized prop weapon resembling an axe or a heavily modified firearm, with a wide, bladed top section and a textured grip. A multi-strand bracelet adorned with white cowrie shells is visible on their left wrist. Behind the central figure, a crowd of people is visible. To the right, a young dark-skinned woman with a white headscarf smiles slightly, looking towards the left. Further back and to the right, another young dark-skinned woman in a blue top is visible, with her mouth open and her right hand raised, appearing to interact with the event. In the background, residential-style buildings with light brown or orange pitched roofs are present, along with dense green foliage from various trees and bushes. A tall, slender palm tree stands prominently in the upper right quadrant of the image. Thin black lines, indicative of power lines, are visible against the sky.
