A daytime street scene in Itakpe Junction, Nigeria, depicts two individuals in elaborate masquerade costumes walking forward on a paved road. Each costumed figure wears a light blue brimmed hat featuring white and yellow concentric circles simulating eyes, a vertically striped tunic in dark blue, light blue, and yellow, and a lower garment of natural fibers (possibly raffia or straw) extending to their ankles. Dark reddish-brown sandals are visible on their feet. Their faces are obscured. The figure on the left is slightly ahead of the figure on the right. To the left, a portion of a pink and yellow three-wheeled auto-rickshaw (keke napep) is visible, with at least one passenger discernible inside. Further left, partially obscured, an individual in a white shirt and dark lower garment walks. To the right, a dark blue passenger van is either stationary or moving slowly behind the costumed figures, with a faint human profile visible through its front passenger window. The road surface is light grey/tan asphalt, with a crumpled green object near the bottom right. Long shadows are cast from the figures and vehicles towards the foreground, indicating bright sunlight. The background features multi-story buildings with weathered facades, sparse vegetation, and a vertical pole on the far right.
