The image captures a scene in what appears to be a butchering or meat processing area within the city of Shaba, Nigeria. In the foreground, a large, skinned animal head, likely bovine, is positioned on a rustic wooden table or stand. The head is pale yellowish-beige, with prominent dark-brown horns, and shows evidence of being singed or scalded, particularly around the ears and muzzle. An open cavity is visible below the jawline. A knife with a black handle and a curved blade rests on the wooden surface beside the head. In the mid-ground, partially obscured by the animal head, a dark-skinned individual is seated or crouched. They wear light-colored clothing, possibly a light blue shirt and shorts, and a reddish-pink fabric is visible near their head, suggesting a head covering. Their hands appear to be engaged in an activity, possibly holding a dark object, though details are indistinct. The background features a wall constructed from rough, grey concrete blocks. Two large, light-colored sacks are stacked against this wall to the left of the seated person. The ground beneath the wooden structure is covered with an uneven scattering of gravel, small stones, and dirt. An orange coiled hose is visible on the ground to the right of the wooden structure, amidst the debris. The scene is illuminated by natural light.
