The scene depicts an open excavation site in Amancho, Nigeria, under a partially cloudy blue sky. Three adult males are present amidst extensive piles and slopes of light brown earth and exposed, layered earth walls. In the foreground to the right, a male wearing a dark green short-sleeved shirt and dark shorts is actively shoveling soil with a dark-colored shovel. His lower legs and feet are visible and appear dust-covered. Directly in front of him on the ground is a modified yellow plastic container, likely a cut-open jerrycan, filled with small rocks or earth fragments. In the mid-ground, slightly to the left of the center, another male, seen from behind, stands upright, facing away from the camera. He wears a full-body garment patterned with green, orange, and white leaf-like motifs. In the background, deeper within the excavation and to the left, a third male wearing a red short-sleeved shirt and dark shorts is partially visible, appearing to be working in a lower section of the pit. The environment is characterized by steep, exposed earth cliffs in the background, showing stratification of light brown and reddish-brown soil. Sparse, dry vegetation, including grasses and shrubs, grows along the upper edges of these cliffs, with a small tree visible on a lower ledge on the left side. The ground throughout consists of disturbed soil and mounds, indicating ongoing manual earth-moving activity.
