The scene depicts a young child dressed in traditional attire, standing in a studio-like setting located in Barakin Akawo, Nigeria. The child, with dark skin and dark, curly hair, faces generally forward while looking upwards and slightly to the right. The child wears a yellow lace long-sleeved top and a dark green wrapped garment or skirt with horizontal yellow and maroon stripes. A multi-colored beaded headband, predominantly red, yellow, and green, adorns the child's head. Around the child's neck is a long necklace made of red, yellow, and green beads, with a central red cylindrical bead, which the child holds with both hands. A matching beaded ankle bracelet is visible on the left ankle. The child is barefoot. The background consists of a reddish-brown textured fabric backdrop. In front of this backdrop are two large, circular, light-colored woven mats, partially overlapping. On either side of the child are two smaller, cylindrical woven pedestal stands; the one on the left has a flat top, and the one on the right has a slightly recessed top. Two large, colorful circular woven trays or mats rest on the light-colored, horizontally laid bamboo or reed mat that forms the flooring. The tray on the left features concentric and radial patterns in purple, blue, green, orange, red, and white. The tray on the right displays similar patterns in red, blue, green, yellow, white, and black.
