The image depicts a low-ceilinged, rock-walled underground mine shaft in Duki, Pakistan. In the foreground, a man with a dark beard and mustache, wearing a grey skullcap with a bright orange and blue headlamp, crouches on his haunches. He is dressed in a dark, possibly grey or brown, traditional long-sleeved shirt and wide trousers, both appearing soiled with dust or dirt. His hands are visibly grimy. A thin black wire runs from his chest area down towards the ground. His eyes are directed towards the viewer. Behind him, another individual is partially visible deeper within the shaft, also in a crouching or bent-over position, engaged in work with an implement. The shaft is supported by crude wooden beams and planks. To the left, white sacks are stacked against the wall, and a yellow hose or cable runs along the ground. The floor consists of loose rock debris. The scene is illuminated primarily by the headlamps, casting shadows and highlighting the rough texture of the mine.
