A cultural event is depicted on an unpaved, reddish-brown dirt path in Okene, Nigeria. The central subject is an individual adorned in an elaborate, full-body masquerade costume. The costume features a large headpiece constructed from various materials, including natural objects resembling shells and possibly bones, wrapped in white fabric. The body is covered by layers of woven fabric in red, white, and dark striped patterns, embellished with cowrie shells. A circular, drum-like object with colorful fabric tassels (green, yellow, red, blue, purple) is attached to the front of the costume. The figure's right arm is motion-blurred, suggesting active movement. To the left and rear of the central figure, a group of male observers is present. One young man in a white and blue jacket over a white shirt, wearing multiple necklaces, holds a long, slender wooden stick over his right shoulder, with an open-mouthed expression. Another man wears a dark head covering and red shirt. To the right, another man in a white garment holds a tall, thin stick, partially obscured by the central figure. Further in the background, an individual in an orange t-shirt stands on a slightly elevated patch of ground. The background consists of residential structures and dense vegetation. A building with a corrugated metal roof is visible on the left. On the right, a two-story peach-colored building with windows and an external air conditioning unit is prominent. Green trees and foliage are interspersed throughout the background. The sky is overcast.
