An adult male is depicted in a close-up portrait, taken in Ado, Nigeria, against a uniform, light-colored wall. The subject's face and visible right hand are covered in a grid pattern of multi-colored iridescent paint, featuring shades of silver, gold, bronze, purple, and blue. Blue pigment is applied to his lips, and a pink streak extends from his philtrum. His facial hair is a greying beard. A slender, metallic object, resembling a ceremonial knife with an ornate silver-colored hilt, is held vertically by his right hand, obscuring a portion of his nose and mouth. His right index finger rests on the hilt. Multiple rings are present on his right hand, including one with an amber-colored stone on the index finger and one with a turquoise-colored stone on the middle finger. Bare-chested, the subject wears a necklace of white cowrie shells, adorned with intertwined branches bearing yellow spherical fruits and larger red oval fruits. A dark, indistinct object is partially visible in the upper left background.
