A static, medium-shot photograph taken within the Makadara/Mji Wa Kale ward, Kenya, depicts a display of handcrafted wooden artifacts. Four carved wooden staffs and a decorative wooden plank lean vertically against a textured white wall, with a light grey floor visible at the base. The three leftmost staffs share a common design: a dark, stylized, looping handle surmounts a dark wooden shaft. Immediately below the handle, each staff features a carved, light brown giraffe with dark spots, depicted in a grazing posture on a reddish-brown platform. Further down, smaller reddish-brown animal head carvings encircle the shaft. The lower shafts are characterized by sections of lighter wood intricately carved with spiraled, geometric, and animal-skin patterns in reddish-brown and black. The fourth staff, positioned to the right of the three similar ones, displays a different motif. Its shaft features segments of a light tan background with dark brown leopard-like spots, interspersed with reddish-brown bands and a section of black and light tan zebra stripes. To the far right, a tall, irregularly shaped wooden plank leans against the wall. Its upper portion exhibits two stylized animal heads with black and white spotted patterns. The lower section of this plank is carved into a human face mask with an elongated nose, narrow eyes, and prominent reddish-pink lips. No individuals are present in the scene. The lighting is diffused, illuminating the items against the plain white wall and grey floor.
